European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has lauded Rory McIlroy as the emotional and strategic leader of the European team ahead of their clash with the U.S. team at Bethpage Black. McIlroy, a five-time major champion, will make his eighth Ryder Cup appearance, bringing significant experience and passion. Donald emphasized McIlroy's deep connection to the Ryder Cup, referencing his emotional reaction to Europe's 2021 loss in Wisconsin, which showed his commitment and leadership.
