There are many predictions about this year's Ryder Cup, and fans are quite impatient when it comes to this competition. It seems that the American team will have a slight advantage, which with the help of the home crowd will try to make a success and take revenge on the Europeans for the defeat in Rome two years ago.
However, will the Europeans succeed in this?
Judging by the statements of European golfers after Luke Donald's six picks, it seems that they have never been so motivated, aware that it is time to celebrate on away soil.
Some, on the other hand, emphasize that this is not quite realistic considering the past editions and the results we have seen.
Matt Fitzpatrick is one of the golfers hoping that his team can celebrate on Bethpage Black.
At the press conference where Luke Donald confirmed his six picks, the English golfer reflected on the 2021 edition of the Ryder Cup. They hope that the European team will have a different experience on US soil this time.
He believes that the foundation of this team's success is playing well, without delving into the deeper reasons for the failure four years ago.
"Like you say, I think the circumstances are different. I think obviously the team is different. It's a team that's already played a home Ryder Cup together which is huge, I think, and from a team chemistry standpoint.
I think the other thing is, if I'm being completely honest, guys have just got to play well. I think obviously Luke and his vice captains have got an important task of picking six players, but I think for the most part, the majority of the time, the team tends to pick itself based on experience and form and previous results during that Ryder Cup cycle.
But I think for me, I think the biggest thing is just play better, and I think that's the one thing that the U.S. Team did very well in 2021. They played extremely well, and you know, we just didn't.."- he said.
Public reactions
There is not much left until the start of this prestigious tournament, and the public is already speculating who could celebrate in the end. The Americans seem more motivated than ever, and Keegan Bradley wants to make his team's job easier.
He is aware that they have a great team, which with the help of the home crowd and fans has the potential to win the trophy.
