GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — European captain Luke Donald was delivering his Ryder Cup victory speech in front of a giddy crowd at Marco Simone when his celebrating players standing beside him started a chant that quickly swept through the grand
“Two more years” was the cry — seemingly led by Rory McIlroy — which drew a broad smile from Donald.
No one has captained Europe in back-to-back Ryder Cups since Bernard Gallagher did so, three times in a row in fact, in 1991, ’93 and then ’95. Back then, that wasn’t rare, with Tony Jacklin and John Jacobs having also repeated before Gallagher. So Donald seems an obvious choice to have a full term as captain. Just look what he did only having a year in charge."Maybe I go out leaving a legacy as a winning Ryder Cup captain and not risk that,” the former world No. 1 said.
“They did an unbelievable job,” Rahm said. “It’s not easy being a rookie and coming out here and showing why you deserve to be here. And how about the team having another set of brothers in Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick? The trajectory of Matt, the U.S. Open champion last year, makes him a likely lock to build on his three Ryder Cup appearances so far and Alex is making great strides, too, placing 17th in his first British Open in July and having top-five finishes at the European Masters and ISPS Handa World Invitational on the European tour since then.
