Pádraig Harrington: Rory McIlroy 'loves the Ryder Cup'

Pádraig Harrington kicked off his 2020 Ryder Cup captaincy by stating his total confidence that Rory McIlroy would be fully committed to the European cause at Whistling Straits.

McIlroy, a four-time major winner and a five-time Ryder Cup player, ruffled feathers on this side of the Atlantic last week ahead of his seasonal debut on the PGA Tour in Hawaii when saying that the European Tour was merely a stepping stone to the more lucrative American circuit.
