Speaking to RTE Sports, Greg Allen, Mroy emphasized the value of the Irish Open in preparation for the RDER Cup. It presents a golden chance for us primarily because of the strong team dynamics. With 11 out of the 12 players returning from the Rome lineup and the same captain leading us, we benefit from continuity and familiarity. We trust Luke’s leadership and communication style, knowing exactly what to anticipate. Our focus remains on controlling our own performance and reactions to the intense environment awaiting us at Beth Page. Following his historic Masters victory in 2025, Mroy faced a temporary dip in form and motivation. Now with the Rider Cup and a potential seventh race to Dubai title in sight, he is reinvigorated and eager to conclude the season on a high note.

Expectations are high for a lively crowd, and I’m thrilled to step onto the first tea as the Mast’s champion. Memories flood back from watching the 2006 Rider Cup with my father and my 2016 Irish Open win. This week is extra special with my family here, enjoying the surroundings.
