- ‘Home captain has to deal with stress,’ says European skipper
- Favoured US team has six Ryder Cup rookies at Whistling Straits
Pádraig Harrington, Europe’s captain, has claimed the US team will need to deal with the “pressure and stress” of being heavy favourites to reclaim the Ryder Cup in front of a partisan crowd.
Travel restrictions mean European supporters are virtually absent from Whistling Straits this week, save those who are based in the United States. The lack of a familiar gallery split has only added to the widespread sense that the hosts should prevail.
