The European Ryder Cup team’s post-match press conference revealed the inspiration behind the team’s dominant performance in Rome and ended with calls for captain Luke Donald to reprise his role in two years’ time LUKE DONALD: I’m just so happy for these 12 guys, they gave everything this week. They were a pleasure to be around. They made my life very easy and they played like superstars. Not many people gave us a chance, I don’t think, especially two years ago. Yeah, well, we proved them wrong. Last night was a little interesting with the 3-1 American session and what…
Europe banished the memories of its record-breaking defeat two years ago with a comprehensive 16.5-11.5 victory in the 44th Ryder Cup in Rome – although there were times on Sunday afternoon when the result hang agonisingly in the balance. The five-point margin of victory – the same deficit that after the end of play of the two previous days at Marco Simone – doesn’t tell the full story of the drama that unfolded during the 12 singles matches, which is traditionally USA’s strongest format. Needing just four points to secure the win, European captain Luke Donald front-loaded his team, putting…
Europe will go into the final day of the 44th Ryder Cup needing just four points from the singles to reclaim the Ryder Cup trophy they lost so comprehensively in Wisconsin two years ago after honours were shared after Saturday’s fourball and foursomes matches. Leading 6.5-1.5 after day one, when America failed to register a single win, Luke Donald’s team turned the knife early on Saturday morning when winning the fourball session 3-1, to stretch the overall lead to seven and the overall score at a barely believable 9.5-2.5. The early European onslaught was led by Viktor Hovland and Ludvig…
A historic opening day at the 44th Ryder Cup ended with Team Europe holding a 6½-1½ lead after Friday’s two sessions of foursomes and fourballs at Marco Simone G&CC in Italy. The tone for the morning foursomes was set by Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. They were two up on Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns by the turn. A birdie at the 11th and eagle on the 12th handed Europe a margin for error they never looked likely to need. Rahm and Hatton closed out a 4&3 win to place the first point on the board. Viktor Hovland and rookie…
The site of what was once Wildwood Golf & Country Club in Surrey, which went out of business in 2017, and whose golf course has long since grown over, has put up for sale by its owner, Peker Holding Limited. The Turkish-owned property company had drawn up plans to develop the 232-acre site in Alfold that once boasted a 27-hole golf course that first opened in 1992, but have now decided to divest its interest in the site. Planning permission was given in 2010 for an 84-bed hotel and 39 lodges to be built on the site, and that consent…
Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton will go up against Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the opening foursomes match of the 44th Ryder Cup which gets under way at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club on Friday morning. World No.1 Scheffler will lead off the US team’s attempt to win a Ryder Cup on European soil for the first time in 30 years, while Rahm will go out in his continent’s first pairing for the second consecutive Ryder Cup at 7.35am local time. Jon Rahm is up first for Europe in Rome paired alongside Tyrrell Hatton Three rookies feature in…
Europe ended a run of six consecutive defeats in the Junior Ryder Cup as they secured a team record 11-point victory over the United States at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome. Team Europe entered the final day singles matches with a six-point lead after a remarkable clean sweep in Wednesday’s four-balls at Golf Nazionale, and they drove home their home advantage with seven victories and three ties in 12 Thursday singles matches at this year’s Ryder Cup venue, triumphing 20½–9½. Germany’s Helen Briem provided the Europeans with some early momentum after her 2&1 win over Yana Wilson,…
A team of sports stars, celebrities and influencers led by Colin Montgomerie won the inaugural Ryder Cup All-Star Match after beating Corey Pavin’s US team 7-4 in a closely fought match play contest played over seven holes at Marco Simone G&CC in Rome on Wednesday. In match one, Tennis ace Novak Djokovic, paired with G4D Tour player Kipp Popert, struck an excellent opening tee shot which set the scene for a 3-1 win against Ferrari Formula One driver Carlos Sainz, and Italian G4D Tour player Tommaso Perrino – both of whom enjoyed strong local support. Djokovic even managed to drive…

Popular with fans on both sides of the Atlantic, the big-hitting Spaniard will have to put in a big shift in Rome, most likely playing in all five matches. A fiery competitor, JR could pair up with everyone and anyone and bring home the points, but without Sergio Garcia in the team, he won’t have…
