Justin Rose gold put aside to focus on Euro role

Symbols of individual success will be conspicuous by their absence from Europe’s Ryder Cup team room in pursuit of another triumph at Hazeltine.

Darren Clarke’s side can boast the Olympic gold medallist, two of this year’s major champions and the winner of the FedEx Cup, but boasting will not be on the agenda among the players.

“It’s not something that I’m touting around, not at all,” Justin Rose said when asked if Clarke had told him to bring his Olympic medal to Minnesota.
