With all four of golf’s majors done and dusted for the year, all focus switches to the Ryder Cup.

European captain Thomas Bjorn is tasked with turning the tide back from America, who strolled to a 17-11 victory in Hazeltine two years ago.

USA currently hold all three transatlantic team competitions while three of the four major titles are currently held by Americans.

Both Bjorn and his star-spangled counterpart, Jim Furyk, will be boast perhaps the best 12-man team on both sides of the Atlantic for some time.
