Europe’s Ryder Cup hopefuls discovered their fate as Luke Donald revealed his captain’s picks for Bethpage Black.
With United States counterpart Keegan Bradley electing not to pick himself in a strong home side last week, Donald set about confirming his selection as Europe bid to retain the Cup with a rare success on American soil in September. Having led the team to an excellent performance two years ago, the Englishman kept faith in most of those who played in Rome - with the core of his team intact with Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose among his six automatic qualifiers.
