In case you missed it earlier – Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland and Matt Fitzpatrick are Luke Donald’s captain’s picks.

They join Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Hojgaard and Tyrrell Hatton to complete the 12-man Europe team.

It means 11 of the 12 players from Rome will tee it up in Bethpage. The only change sees Rasmus Hojgaard – who qualified automatically – replace his brother, Nicolai.

Since the Ryder Cup was altered to allow European players to compete in 1979, there has never been so few changes made to a team – on average, Europe make five in each two-year cycle.
