Multiple Major winners and victorious Ryder Cup captain among British Masters entries

In 1991, he was invited to play practice rounds with the U.S. Ryder Cup team when captain Dave Stockton told Love he had a chance at becoming a captain's pick.

He still has a hunch the Americans finally will win, mainly because of the European team they are facing.

World number 31 Moore was chosen by U.S. captain Davis Love as his final wild card on Sunday, three hours after losing out to Rory McIlroy in a play-off for the Tour Championship. Ryder himself presented the trophy to Britain's George Duncan after the home side's 1929 victory. 3.

With Clarke going up against his American counterpart, Davis Love III, McGinley will be keeping an intrigued eye on the approach of the respective captains in the heat of the frontline battle. "This is the best golf team maybe ever assembled". We know how to handle it, how to deal with it. In the 1999 "Battle of Brookline", Europe led 10-6 entering the singles but usa players rallied for a 14 1/2-13 1/2 triumph.

"But now six years on, Darren's going to be so inspirational".

Miller said the Americans would look down the European roster and see plenty of strong Ryder Cup players in Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Martin Kaymer and perhaps even Masters champion Danny Willett, one of the six rookies.

"It's unquestionable that it's going to be a very, very big task ahead of us", said the 48-year-old Northern Irishman, a veteran of five Ryder Cups as a player. You're throwing stuff out, ' Miller said of Love's comments.

"If we are putting any eight guys out at a time, they are going to be really good; it is more (the players) who to sit that we are struggling with".

McIlroy had been a rookie at Celtic Manor in 2010 and then was leading European team qualifier in both 2012 and 2014, the latter at Gleneagles seeing him as World No 1 aswell.

"Each of them will be trying to do everything possible to help their team win and it involves getting themselves in a great state of mind, getting themselves to believe in their teams, and then getting the team to believe in their leadership". We're going to have to sit down after this Ryder Cup and ask ourselves if this is the best way to go.

The Americans had lost two straight Ryder Cups when Raymond Floyd took over as captain in 1989 at The Belfry and summoned his inner Hogan.

A change to how the USA team makes its final captain pick has given Love ample time to mull his decision. "I needed a few right things to happen, which seemed to nearly - it almost got there". Holing putts at the right time under intense pressure has been the decisive factor.

Although he will be making his Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine National Golf Club, Moore is no stranger to representing his country, as he has played in the Walker Cup, Palmer Cup and the World Amateur Team Championship during his career. It was a little bit of work but it evolved quite quickly.
