McIlroy: US ‘desperate’ to end Europe’s Cup dominance

Rory McIlroy believes the USA are ‘desperate’ to end Europe’s dominance in the Ryder Cup.

McIlroy, who returns to competition at the Honda Classic following a three-week break, also expressed surprise at the selection of Davis Love III as the 2016 US Ryder Cup captain.

“It came as a big shock when they announced that Davis was going to be the next US captain,” said McIlroy last night. “It will be great to see Davis and Darren (Clarke) go head-to-head at Hazeltine. They will be formidable opponents. But I’m surprised, and I feel they’re overdoing it, with the setting up of a task force and also talking about all the changes they want to bring in.
