Europe have won nine of the last 12 editions of the biennial match play event, including three of the past six on US soil.
KOHLER - The Ryder Cup won't be won or lost on the first tee at Whistling Straits on Friday, but that doesn't change the heart-hammering intensity as Europe and America's best go toe-to-toe for golf's coveted trans-Atlantic trophy.
"It's great fun. It really is, from the moment you kind of walk out your tunnel to getting that tee peg and attempting to put the ball on the tee, it's a pretty fun ride." "It's going to be nervy on the first tee but that's what the Ryder Cup is all about," Garcia said. "I've been there before, and I'm very, very excited and I hope that we can play great like I know we can and get a point for Europe."
That won't match the 7,000 at Le Golf National near Paris in 2018 that created what Thomas called "a total out of body experience.
