Europe’s captain Luke Donald exudes confidence before the renewal in Rome … with one US sporting icon’s support
This feels like an early win for Europe. Michael Jordan, a long-time cheerleader for the US in Ryder Cups, believes Luke Donald’s team will prevail at Marco Simone next Sunday. Donald, a neighbour of Jordan, had dinner with the NBA icon in recent weeks. “He tipped the Europeans to win,” Donald says. “Take whatever you want out of that one.
“He is a good friend. He would be very supportive of me having a great experience. I think ultimately he wants the US to win.” Yet Jordan’s faith is in Europe.
