Andy North expects Darren Clarke to send out his rookies before Sunday

Former Ryder Cup vice-captain Andy North does not believe European skipper Darren Clarke will try to "hide" any of his rookies in this week's contest at Hazeltine.

Half of Clarke's 12-man team will be making their debut in the biennial contest as Europe seek an unprecedented fourth straight win, the most for an away tie since seven played at Brookline in 1999.
