Mail Online: Ryder Cup 2016 High Court: How Team Europe and Team USA line up at Hazeltine ahead of event's 41st edition


By: Derek Lawrenson for the Daily Mail

The 41st Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota promises drama, excitement and passion.

Team Europe have been dominant since 2010 but the Americans want revenge and in their own backyard they feel they have the best chance.

Here, Sportsmail's golf correspondent Derek Lawrenson assesses both Team Europe and Team USA.

 

TEAM EUROPE 

 Justin Rose

(Eng) Age: 36. WR: 11.

Ryder Cup record: Won 2 (2012-14) Lost 1 (2008). Matches: Fourballs 3-2-0; Foursomes 4-1-1; Singles 2-0-1.

Season highlight: Don’t have to look very far for this one. The only man in the history of the game with not only a major but that so special Olympic gold medal.

Verdict: A player who seems to hole a few more putts and grow a couple of inches at the Ryder Cup. How Europe need him at his best.

Ryder Cup rating: 9 

Justin Rose is playing with confidence after a successful summer and will be in the groove
