Root: Golfers can inspire Ashes quest
The Sentinel
|September 26, 2025
JOE Root is hoping to take inspiration from this weekend's Ryder Cup, with both Team Europe and England's Ashes squad looking to “rewrite history” behind enemy lines.
-
Root will be tuning in to see if the continent's top golfers can tame home advantage in New York to claim a famous win, before heading to Australia with exactly the same mission.
England’s last win Down Under came in 2010-11 and Europe’s most recent success in the United States followed at Medinah in 2012, shortly before Root won the first of his 158 Test caps.
Both groups will need to conquer hostile home support to achieve their ambitions, but Root is relishing his part in the battle ahead.
