ROCHESTER, New York : United States Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson will lead his entire 12-man team on a reconnaissance mission at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome ahead of the biennial competition against Europe.
"I'm taking the 12 guys that make my team to Rome two weeks prior to the event - two and a half weeks prior to the event, so that way we get our feet on the grounds, they get their feet on the grounds, experience Marco Simone firsthand," Johnson said on Wednesday at the PGA Championship, Johnson has plenty of Ryder Cup experience having played in the event on five occasions while also serving as vice captain at the last two editions and feels the fact-finding mission at Marco Simone will provide many benefits.
Johnson said he has already reached out to several of the players on the Ryder Cup qualifying list to inform them of his plans to visit Marco Simone and that so far he has not heard anything that suggests anyone is not in support of the idea.
