Thoughts have inevitably turned towards how Tyrrell Hatton may celebrate victory here. Not only was the Englishman denied proper euphoria when claiming the PGA Championship in 2020 those were Covid times but he started this week depicting himself waking up in a pool of his own vomit after qualifying for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Hatton forms part of the European contingent who will fly to New York for a scouting mission as soon as this tournament ends.
It's making the game a bit more stressful than it should be, Hovland said. It's just frustrating as a golfer when this is my game. I step up and I have an intention of wanting to start the ball a certain height and start it left of the target and curve it, and then the ball starts high and right, complete opposite of what I'm trying to do. That's just frustrating. But I know how to play. So I'm doing the best I can.
New Yorkers, forget the range: In a few weeks, the first tee comes to you. From Thursday, September 25 through Sunday, September 28, Rockefeller Plaza will transform into a pop-up playground for Ryder Cup Live, complete with a Toptracer simulator that recreates the nerves (and the glory) of piping one down Bethpage Black's intimidating opening fairway. It's free, it's public and yes, you get only one shot-just like the pros feel when the grandstands are roaring and the cameras are rolling.
Europe will defend the Ryder Cup later this month with 11 of the 12 players who saw off the United States in Rome two years ago after Luke Donald unsurprisingly opted for experience with his wildcard picks. Europe's captain has turned to Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka, Victor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, Jon Rahm and Matt Fitzpatrick to complete his team for Bethpage.
The biennial Ryder Cup professional men's golf tournament will tee off at the Bethpage Black course in Farmingdale for the first time Sept. 26-28.

ATLANTA Tommy Fleetwood of England ended a summer of heartache with the richest prize on the PGA Tour, winning the Tour Championship on Sunday for his first tour title to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million reward. Fleetwood got plenty of help at the start when Patrick Cantlay began bogey-double bogey and could never catch up. Scottie Scheffler hit his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and still was a threat until a tee shot into the water ended his hopes on the 15th.
I was a little bit intimidated by golf because my dad was a very good golfer. I had never seemed to be able to pick it up. And I just thought, 'Okay, this is one sport I'm just not going to be able to do.' So when [series creator] Jason Keller first kind of spoke to me, I think that sort of anxiety made me nervous about, you know, could I sort of do it in a way that would feel good? And Jason has a nice quality of reassurance and just got me to think, 'Yeah. Okay, you can do this.'
