Lowry was one of Luke Donald’s six captain’s picks for the showdown in Rome, and has bridled at claims he doesn’t deserve his place.
Gavin Cooney RICHARD BLAND HAS maintained phone access in his LIV-gilded cage, and so his take on Luke Donald’s picks for the European Ryder Cup team was well-ventilated.
Plus, Donald isn’t picking solely on form. His picks and pairings will be informed by data, but Lowry brings those intangible qualities which suddenly appear material in the white heat of the Ryder Cup. Experience, passion, character, basic good vibes: all of these are easy for fans to scoff at but much less easy for any captain to discard.Lowry’s experience at Whistling Straits two years ago will be useful, given LIV has winnowed Europe’s selection options.
“It was one of the best experiences of my life, and it’s the only thing I want to do for the next two years”, he said after Europe’s hammering two years ago. “I don’t care what I do for the next two years now as long as I’m back in Rome to try to take the trophy back off them.”
