ALONG FOR THE RYDE

Rahm wants Cup ticket and shows Donald his class

- ANDREW GAMBLE

EUROPEAN stars hoping to play in the Ryder Cup now have just one Major left to impress captain Luke Donald and earn their spot on the team.

And those who make it will be hoping New York's Bethpage Black plays a bit easier in September than Oakmont did this weekend.

With the biennial clash with the Americans fast approaching, the jostling for position is getting serious.

Oakmont gave players from Europe the chance to show their capability and prove they should be one of Donald's six captain’s picks if they can’t qualify automatically.

It was even more important to LIV Golf players.
