European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald provided some big hints on his potential pairings by using some familiar groups for Tuesday’s practice round in Rome.
Donald took all 12 of his line-up for a practice session at Marco Simone Golf Club earlier this month ahead of the BMW PGA Championship, where he also requested all-Ryder Cup groups in the draw for the first two rounds of the Rolex Series event.Many of the pairings used for the scouting mission in Rome were also put together later that week at Wentworth, with Tuesday's practice seeing some familiar match-ups used again.
Rory McIlroy went out in a fourball including Ireland's Shane Lowry, with that pairing also used during the Friday fourballs in 2021, while Tommy Fleetwood and Sepp Straka - who were in a threeball with Lowy at Wentworth - also in that group. Straka was also in the game group with Lowry for the Rome practice round, ahead of his Ryder Cup debut this week, while Justin Rose and Robert MacIntyre - who were also together earlier this month - put together in Tuesday's round.
