European captain Luke Donald has picked a series of heavyweight pairings – including reuniting Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood – as he looks for the visitors to make a fast start against the United States at Bethpage.<\/b><\/p>\n

Northern Ireland’s McIlroy and England’s Fleetwood linked up to great effect in Europe’s victory in Rome two years ago, winning together in both foursomes sessions to contribute two crucial points.<\/p>\n

Spain’s Jon Rahm and England’s Tyrrell Hatton, who also won both their matches together last time out, have been selected to start the visitors’ bid for a first win on American soil since 2012.<\/p>\n

“We want to start strong,” said Donald.<\/p>\n

“Rahm and Hatton have had a lot of success together. <\/p>\n

“They know how to win, they get along very well and we’re very happy to get them out first.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
