Literally we have the same name on the European team table, and the task of choosing the morning four seemed simple.
In Italy, the overall victory is made up of four. The hosts claimed all four games on Friday, and then added another three-pointer on Saturday.
If you want to show that Donald is very right, then you just have to see how he does his backup pairing.
That’s how Europe held a four-person group in Italy two years ago.
Friday
Ram/Hatton
Aberg/Hovland
Laurie/straka
McIlroy/Fleetwood
Saturday
McIlroy/Fleetwood
Aberg/Hovland
Laurie/straka
Ram/Hatton
That’s how we see Donald set up pairings on Friday morning.
1 – Ram and Hatton
Let’s start with where McIlroy is going. He had only once in the first place (out with Graeme McDowell in 2012), and he will surely be in two games on Friday. Therefore, we should not consider leading the European Masters Championship.
Why did you deviate from what happened in Rome? Even at that time of day, the atmosphere can get crazy, so stick to what we know and keep Rahm and Hatton there.
They won two games, so it’s unthinkable that they won’t unfold on Friday morning, their energy and attitude will be ideal for anything the United States throws at them.
2 – Aberg and Hovland
Again, here we have two players in second place on two mornings and scored two points. They won’t treat you as the leading man – they’re so nice – you’ll imagine they like being hiding in the computer room.
On Saturday, Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka drove back from the 11th green, while the Scandinavians were the same electricity on the opening morning. They might be ranked third, but why mix things like this?
3 – Rose and Straka
Last time we had Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka, both of which beat Rickie Fowler and Collin Morikawa and lost the next day. If any player has any question marks, then these two players are probably near the top of the list, so you want them to be on the first morning instead of Saturday fours?
You might be able to exclude rookies Rasmus Hojgaard and Matt Fitzpatrick from Friday morning’s plan, and despite his new confidence, Bob MacIntyre is still Bob Macintyre, but you still have Justin Rose who played just four goals in Italy.
My guess is that he will work with Straka’s early goal and Big Shane will be blocked by four balls.
4 – McIlroy and Fleetwood
There are two more points, and in the end, it looks like McIlroy’s perfect partner. The anchor match two years ago looked important on paper, and the two made Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele better, and the next morning, another tried-and-tested pairing between Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
You will have a hard time finding a more popular or stronger European pairing and seeing some blue sight in the bottom match is very popular.
