Team Europe wants to win the Ryder Cup against each other and ensure their first success as a guest since the 2012 Miracle at Medinah event. watch all week live on Sky Sports ’Ryder Cup channel

Padraig Harrington knows that a quick start may be crucial in their efforts to maintain the Ryder Cup this week, but which players will he send to the opening ceremony?

The Irishman wants to become only the third captain of this century to lead Europe to victory on American soil, and his party will arrive as reigning champions after they had succeeded at Le Golf National in 2018.

Europe will once again compete in the biennial competition due to the average world ranking of the American team, despite Steve Stricker’s team of six entrants and only three players who have previously won the Ryder Cup.

Harrington has a wealth of experience at his disposal and can choose from a lot of possible mating on Friday mornings. Who does he choose? Former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart joined Nick Dougherty to predict a possible lineup…

Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland

Team Europe produced an inspiring video that reminded their players of the chosen company they are participating in by competing in the Ryder Cup

Coltart: “I would play Rahm in all five sessions. He’s the number one player in the world and number one on our team, so I put him fourth. The world’s strongest player in Viktor Hovland. . “

Sergio Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood

Coltart: “Sergio won the lap and got back in shape after the PGA Championship and made it into the top six. Tommy is back in shape and his faith is starting to return. “

Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter

Rory McIlroy explains why he’s not going to be too animated during this year’s Ryder Cup, and discusses what winning would mean on U.S. soil

Coltart: “Do you remember Medina? How could you forget! Rory has set a record by saying that he really doesn’t feel comfortable being the leader of a couple and taking someone under his wings. He wants someone else to do it and allow him to get off the bike and go play. “

Lee Westwood and Matt Fitzpatrick

Coltart: “Everyone has to have a game on opening day, and four balls is massive in the afternoon. I put together two steady performers and two of the world’s best drivers. They’re two Englishmen who know each other incredibly well and are very comfortable in these situations.”
