Prior to being officially named Henrik Stenson's replacement as European Ryder Cup captain, Luke Donald had this to say about a potential appointment to lead the home side in Rome this September.
“If I got this captaincy, I would live up to my word and see it through,” Donald said. “Let me put it that way. I wouldn’t be doing a Henrik.”
Stenson, of course, forfeited his captaincy by signing with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf last summer. Soon after, the five-time Ryder Cupper from Sweden was replaced by the Englishman Donald, who has four Ryder Cups under his belt as a player.
