As months of speculation about his inclusion in the Ryder Cup team comes to an end, Justin Thomas’ place in the American squad has received a thumbs up from none other than Rory McIlroy. The Irishman who, along with Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm form the bulwark of the Continentals’ challenge asserted on a show on golf.com.
McIlroy dismissed the criticism surrounding JT’s place on the American roster as simplistic, and averred that it was a ‘no-brainer.’ McIlroy went on to add that irrespective of JT’s form (or lack of it thereof) in recent months, he remains the one player that a number of European players would not want to face at the Ryder Cup.
