His words were ( via ASAP Sports):“I think my job as captain is to prepare the guys for every scenario. Obviously there's a bunch of us in our team that have experienced away crowds. Maybe not New York, but we have experienced away crowds before, and we've certainly talked about it as a group, what you've learned, what you think you might have done well…One element of the preparation that's going into kind of making sure that these guys are ready for -- and to be prepared to be at their best.”He continued, “I think Rory…loves what the Ryder Cup represents. You can see the emotion both ways. When he lost in Wisconsin the tears were flowing, how he felt like as the player he is, he's a leader for the team, that he needed to play better and he felt like he let himself down and the team. That's kind of the brotherhood we have in our team. He sees himself as a leader but also just one of 12. We try and talk about that a lot. We all have an opportunity to contribute to the team.”The European Ryder Cup team has Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Hojgaard, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, and Matt Fitzpatrick.
