Team Europe’s stunning comeback in the Ryder Cup at Medinah in 2012 was one of the most thrilling sporting moments in recent years, so on the brink of the 2014 edition, anticipation and excitement are naturally high.

This time, the Centenary Course in Gleneagles has the privilege of hosting one of the greatest team competitions on the planet, and the squad from the United States will be desperate to regain the trophy they last held in 2008.

Throughout 2014, few players have been able to best McIlroy when he plays at his absolute finest. All areas of his game seem to be in supreme working order, and while he was once a shrinking violet in the big tournaments, he now seems to relish the pressure that comes with being a major champion.
