It is really difficult to give a precise answer whether the American team or the European team is stronger at the moment. However, if fans and pundits are to be believed, the American team seems to have a slightly better team, mostly because of Scottie Sheffler, a golfer who is doing incredible things this year.
The 29-year-old is currently world number 1, and it seems that no one is even close to him.
On the other hand, the home ground advantage will certainly be an important factor in this tournament, as the home crowd will surely support the American team from the first day to the last of the tournament.
Regardless of all the reasons why some believe that the American team could celebrate, the captain of the US team Keegan Bradley is cautious, stressing that Europe has one of the best teams in the history of this tournament.
In addition to a great team, he points out how important Luke Donald will be as a captain, believing that he is probably one of the best captains ever.
They have a serious and difficult task ahead of them, but they have no intention of giving up on their goals, aware that they have the potential for great things.
“They have an incredibly stacked team. I think one of the best European teams ever.
And they may have the best Ryder Cup captain ever as well in Luke Donald. So they’re going to be really difficult, and I think everyone on our team knows that.”- he said, as quoted by BBC.
Luke Donald reacts
Luke Donald is also cautious when it comes to the US team, but is aware that they are probably slight underdogs when it comes to this competition.
However, Luke Donald was the captain of this team two years ago in Rome when they managed to lift the trophies with a dominant performance.
The Ryder Cup is, after all, such a competition where winning on away soil is one of the most difficult tasks. This task is so difficult that many call it the greatest feat in the history of golf.
However, it is rare that the guests celebrate on home soil, and we will see if something will change this year.
