""It's hard to explain sometimes, and people might say it's not the right way for me to think, but honestly, I say it all the time, if I'm sitting there at the end of September with the Ryder Cup, or whenever it finishes, I think it'll be a good year regardless," Lowry said. "So I put a lot of eggs in that basket, and that's just, that's just the way I am. It's a big, big part of my career.""
""And we also have a lot of continuity in the backroom set-up as well: the captains, vice captains and the people in the background as well. So I think it's just going to be an easier get-together for the team. When we all come together, we'll all feel as one pretty quickly. Sometimes it can be hard to do that when you play an individual sport all year, to come together and all be one together quite, quite soon.""
Shane Lowry will make his third Ryder Cup appearance on Long Island later this month. He has endured painful near misses this season and regards an away Ryder Cup victory as compensatory and central to his career goals. Lowry places heavy emphasis on team success and believes sitting in New York on Sunday night with the Ryder Cup would make the year a success. Europe returns with 11 of the 12 winners from Rome, including Rasmus Hojgaard replacing his twin. Continuity among captains, vice-captains and backroom staff should help the team unite quickly. Lowry rejects the notion that Europe can be clear favourites for an away Ryder Cup and stresses the need to put in the work.
