The European team should be just about are ready to compete this weekend, as they make their final preparations for the tournament at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois.
It all gets underway from Friday and the travelling side will have to work as a team and play some of the best golf of their career to retain the trophy they won back in 2010.

Jose Maria Olazábal is the man who will captain the side this year and he certainly has a lot of talent at his disposal.
All eyes are sure to be on the man of the moment – Rory McIlroy. The 23-year-old is the number one ranked golfer in the world and comes into this competition on the back of four big wins in 2012.
There is a lot of pressure on McIlroy performing, but he seems to be a character that will relish the opportunity to lead Europe to success.
Just one of the European players is making his first appearance in a Ryder Cup, captains pick Nicolas Colsaerts. The Belgian may feel as though he has a point to prove, and will be looking to get off to a flyer.
Experienced campaigners Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood will have a huge part to play and will be the men that can help the younger players through the tournament. The crowd could be intimidating and the Europeans will be doing all they can to keep them quiet.
The other captain’s pick is Ian Poulter, who the tournament means so much too. Poulter is proud to represent Europe and is one of the most competitive golfers on the circuit.
A good start is vital for Olazábal’s team if they are to win the trophy. They will want to be full focused on their own game and blank the crowd out.
There is no doubt that Europe have the players that are more than capable of winning this Ryder Cup. Should they do so, it would be a fantastic achievement.
