AceOdds.com<\/a>, Torrance said: “I honestly believe Team Europe are favourites. We’ve got a very strong team. 11 of the 12 from the last Ryder Cup are back in and the only change is H\u00f8jgaard – from Nicolai to Rasmus.<\/p>\n“The big bonus for our rookie, Rasmus, is that he was there in Italy two years ago. He was in a buggy, he was on the course, the opening ceremony. He saw everything. He was with the team, so he knows exactly what’s coming. So that’s a bonus for us.”<\/p>\n
“The US has three rookies I think. I never bothered about the US team. When I was captain, we’d arrive on a Sunday night and the practice rounds were from Monday to Thursday, I didn’t watch the American team once.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t watch them hit one shot on the range, or on the course. I didn’t look at their pairings. It’s just not worth it because you try to pre-empt yourself and you can easily get it wrong.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Team Europe have the advantage at this year’s tournament, according to 2002 Ryder Cup winning captain Sam Torrance.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448389,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[11080,4365,34074,4287,4321,4288,49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-448388","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-bryson-dechambeau","9":"tag-golf-section","10":"tag-jon-rahm","11":"tag-rory-mcilroy","12":"tag-ryder-cup","13":"tag-scottie-scheffler","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
