Europe take on the USA at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy from Friday to Sunday.Read more: The Ryder Cup history-maker who 'exceeded' all of Rory McIlroy's expectationsMcIlroy - playing in his seventh Ryder Cup - was left inconsolable in 2021 after winning his final singles game on the Sunday, admitting he hadn't done enough over the week to help his teammates.
"From when we were kids, meeting at Holywood Golf Club when we were seven years old on the putting green to all the way through and playing amateur golf together, and now we're doing our third Ryder Cup together and everything that we've done in between that time. It's incredible. The Holywood man added: "It's sort of flipped. Previous Ryder Cups we've sort of gone pretty light-hearted at the start of the week and then we get hit with an emotional bomb before we go play Friday.
"The way I've played this last couple of years, you could sort of trace it back to Whistling Straits and having that really low moment on Saturday," he said.
