In spite of this, they are also aware of how dangerous the US team can be. During a press conference, Luke Donald stated that he believes in the abilities of his team, and he hopes that they will be able to achieve a great result. Donald knows well what kind of players he has in the team. Most of them are in great shape, and have great careers behind them. The US team, on the other hand, also possesses quality players on its roster.
"As a captain you have to be confident and I certainly have a lot of belief in my team. You have to have belief that you're going to get them into a place where they are going to be successful.
It is going to be difficult - the US team are very strong, high up in the world rankings and they have some great partnerships and have had a lot of success. We are coming off our worst defeat ever.
We have our work cut out but I am looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. I feel like my team is ready. I am very excited about the team I have and the challenge ahead."- he said, as quoted by skysports.com
Luke Donald on playing homeThe Ryder Cup will be played in Rome this year. There is an advantage for the European team since they are playing at home. Through the home crowd, they will try to utilize this advantage and win!
"We know being at home is an advantage. Having that support behind you is helpful. It picks up your energy and you can feed off it. We are looking forward to having a lot more support this time around. It was lacking during Covid [in 2021]."
