Rory McIlroy is already poking U.S., one year out from the Ryder Cup
McIlroy Takes Aim at U.S., Ahead of Ryder Cup
With a year to go until the Ryder Cup, Rory McIlroy has already started firing shots at Team USA.
The European star, who captained Team Europe in the last tournament, has put the Americans on notice, saying that they will not be able to beat Europe on home soil.
“I think at Whistling Straits, we were probably fortunate to come out on top,” said McIlroy. “We knew that going into that U.S. team, they were probably one of the strongest U.S. teams outside the Tiger Woods years. So, we’re very fortunate to come out on top.
“We’re going to have a lot of that fortune on our side, I feel like, when we go back there to Rome because we’re playing in front of a home crowd. We’re going to have the crowd support. We’re going to have the momentum. And I think all that stuff is going to be important.”
