ORLANDO, Fla. – The murky European Ryder Cup picture became slightly clearer Thursday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Following an opening 68 at Bay Hill that left him just three shots off the lead, Graeme McDowell was asked his thoughts on the next European Ryder Cup captain.
“I just don't think I'm quite ready,” McDowell said.
Traditionally the European side has named their next captain by now but the selection process has been complicated by the Saudi-backed super league, which is reportedly still wooing some of Europe’s top players.
That list of players who might be leaning in the super league’s direction is Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter.
