In the most recent matches of 2016 and 2021, Europe Trail 11½-4½ in the quartet. It looks like they have to reverse this trend to have a chance this week.
Why is it so difficult for outside teams to prosper another shot is difficult to understand. Maybe this time there is a better chance because Europe is the most experienced team, with Rasmus Hojgaard their only recruit.
Certainly, Donald wants his golfers to take a quick start to try to calm what should be noisy house fans.
Indeed, the ultimate objective would be to cause domestic galleries to activate their team, especially since American players are each paid $ 500,000 (£ 371,000), with $ 300,000 (£ 148,000) to go to their choice of choice.
This potentially changes the dynamics of the match, Europe United in not wanting a financial reward.
New York fans love to support their teams and break the opposition. But they do not hesitate to let their dissatisfaction be known if things are starting to go wrong, and golfers already incredibly rich in another financial brand could become a fair game.
Donald hopes that his team’s experience – has tried and tested foursoma partnerships such as Rory McILroy and Tommy Fleetwood, and Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton – can enter the United States since deactivation.
Bradley has four recruits – Ben Griffin, JJ Spaun, Russell Henley and Cameron Young – Blood.
Beginners have prospered in the past, but each of them is currently preparing for the most trying photos of their lives, especially if necessary to play the first morning.
Europe is imbued with experience and not only because their team includes 11 dedicated dozen who won so generously in Italy two years ago.
Donald has the captain winning in 2014 Paul McGinley as a clever strategic advisor, the statistical of Edoardo Molinari among his vice-capaids as well as the winning skippers Thomas Bjorn and Jose Maria Olazabal.
On the other hand, Bradley will probably have to count strongly on the vice-captain Jim Furyk, who played nine Ryder Cups, winning only two. The 55 -year -old man was the losing skipper against Bjorn in Paris in 2018.
Brandt Snedeker and Webb Simpson are the only other rescue experience with Ryder Cup – Simpson was part of the losing team in its three games, while Snedeker invented the defeat in 2012 successfully in 2016.
Famous, Bradley will never open his Medinah kit bag until he won a Ryder Cup. He still calls this last tumultuous day when Europe has gone from 10 to 6 “horrible”.
Above all, the choices of generic characters of 39 years can all look at their captain knowing that he could have gathered instead of them. It is surely a powerful motivator for half of his team and potentially a Masterstroke from Bradley.
The coming days will be dotted with captain press conferences and players, a cat and mouse game with the media trying to cause controversial comments that could light a blue touch paper.
Knowing that there is already a wealth of Tinder, skippers will not want sparks to fly – certainly until the competition finally starts on Friday morning.
Who knows how it will go? Will the unilateral model continue or get a much necessary epic that goes over the way?
The last five games have not been close; This was the era of the eruption of the house. But on aggregates during this period, Europe leads by a single point: 70½-69½.
Home advantage is important, but experience and know-how. It is the cultural confrontation in the heart of the Ryder Cup of this year.
It will be the most acute in the first exchanges. If none of the games wins a significant advance of these matches on the Quartuins, the proximity of the competition can last until the end.
Bring it.
