Shane Lowry insists Europe boast the best two players in the world in Jon Rahm and Rory McIlory - but uncertainty still reigns over the involvement of LIV rebels at the Ryder Cup.
Lowry is targeting a spot in Luke Donald's team against USA in September after proving a rare shining light for Europe on his debut in the humiliating 19-9 thrashing at Whistling Straights in 2021.
Donald's side will be spearheaded in Rome by world no.1 McIlroy and red-hot Spaniard Rahm, who was baffled to remain rooted at fifth in the rankings after a stunning victory at the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii last weekend.
