Team Europe captain Luke Donald has announced his Ryder Cup picks, finalizing an already-formidable squad as Europe prepares to retake the trophy from the United States.
Donald's team already included automatic qualifiers Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton and Robert McIntyre. The European captain's picks, announced Monday, include:An impressive and unconventional selection, given that he just turned pro in June and has not played in a single major yet. But he's already won the European Masters, and that gave Donald enough comfort that the 22-year-old Aberg can handle the otherworldly pressure of the Ryder Cup.
The United States team features qualifiers Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman, as well as captain's picks Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Collin Morikawa and Rickie Fowler. The Ryder Cup tees off later this month at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.
