He had been impressive with his game this season, both on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour.In the post-round press conference of the BMW PGA Championship, he opened up about the European team's practice for the Ryder Cup. He said (via ASAP Sports):"We're getting ready to go on this practise trip tonight to New York. Yeah, it's sort of -- there's been a lot of talk and a lot of chat and a lot of thinking about the Ryder Cup. But you still want to play well this week. I saw glimpse of that."There was a lot of birdies and eagles and just a few too many bogeys and double-bogeys to have a chance to win but overall, happy with the week and obviously very excited for what's to come in a couple weeks' time," he added.The Europe Team won the Ryder Cup in 2023 at home and would be looking forward to continuing their streak in 2025 as well, on foreign land. However, in the last five editions, the US team has not lost a tournament on its home soil and is gearing up to continue the streak this year as well. The 2025 Ryder Cup will take place from September 25 to 28 at the Bethpage Black Course in New York.
