Rory McIlroy is certainly the main name of the European team that aims to do big things at this year's Raider Cup. The 36-year-old golfer is ready to help his team celebrate on away soil.
And that turned out to be a task that has been a dream for the European team for years.
The Northern Irish golfer is currently competing in the Tour Championship, but there is no doubt that he is equally focused on the Ryder Cup.
The reporter was interested in whether Rory and his teammates are currently in communication and what dialogues prevail among the European players as well as the captain.
McIlroy put special emphasis on the captain of the European team, Luke Donald, who really works energetically and firmly believes in the prospects of this team.
They have a great dialogue, and it is especially important that this year's edition will be similar to the one from Rome, with minor changes that could bring additional quality to this team.
This time they will have a more difficult task, as winning on away soil has become a mystery in recent years.
"Yeah, it's been good. Luke is over in Europe right now, and he's at the Belfry and he's with a few of the guys there that maybe have a chance to get those last couple of spots on the team. I'd say he's focused more on that side of things right now.
There's a lot of us here that he doesn't really need to focus on or speak to right now, myself, Rosey, Bob, Tommy, Viktor, the guys that are pretty much on the team.
But the dialogue has been good. It's nice that it looks like the team is going to be pretty much the same. We have this group chat from Rome that's still going two years on.
But it's been good. Everyone is in good spirits, and obviously everyone is excited for what's to come in a few weeks at Bethpage.."- he said.
Europeans expect big things this time
It's not long until the start of the Ryder Cup, and Rory is already looking forward to this challenge. In the words of European golfers, you can feel how strongly they believe in this team.
Between them, there is chemistry, optimism, and these emotions can be the key to the Europeans' success on away soil.
