A Ryder Cup round-up to get you in the mood

With less than an a half hour to go before the first four-balls tee off in Ryder Cup 2014 we gathered together some of the best of the build-up.

Earlier in the week European captain Paul McGinley explained to the Irish Examiner’s Simon Lewis why he feels he is ready for his new role.

See what the player’s will see shortly with a tour of the walk to the first tee-box.

On Wednesday Phil Mickelson did his bit to keep things interesting with a well aimed dig at Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.

It was the last thing McIlroy and McDowell wanted; they had sat down to a joint interview determined to dismiss any talk of a rift between them.

Before the drama of 2014 begins take a moment to savour the excitement that was Ryder Cup 2012 - the ‘Miracle of Medinah’.

Just in case you are a newcomer to the event who wants to know enough to blag their way through a pub conversation we brought you this beginner’s guide.

So sit back and enjoy three days of these guys playing for Europe in Ryder Cup 2014.
