Hopefully, we can build a lot off this small amount of momentum we've got going," the world number five said. Europe need only four points from Sunday's 12 singles but Cantlay referenced the European comeback in 2012 at Medinah when they hit back from 10-6 down to snatch victory. "I saw it unfold when Patrick made that putt, Joe was waving his hat," he said. U.S. captain Johnson said he was aware of an incident but was told McIlroy and LaCava were "all good". "You see passion and emotion in the Ryder Cup and I don't think it's anything more than that," he said.

Plenty of Americans will make the trip too, but home advantage will definitely favour Europe as they look to continue their domination on home soil. It's really just that simple," Johnson, who featured on three American sides to lose in Europe, said. We are coming off our worst defeat ever in a Ryder Cup," Donald said. "The U.S. players are strong, high up in the world rankings and they have some great partnerships and have had a lot of success.

Mandatory Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY SportsMay 5 (Reuters) - The absence of Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood from this year's Ryder Cup is sad, but could herald a generational shift, said Team Europe captain Luke Donald. "I played with all three and they've been stalwarts of, and given a lot to, both the Ryder Cup and European Tour. This year's Ryder Cup could represent a "generational shift", said Donald, who replaced Henrik Stenson as Team Europe captain last year after the Swede said he was joining the lucrative Saudi-backed series. "There's great momentum with European golf, we've already had seven winners in the U.S. (this season) and a bunch of people who haven't played in the Ryder Cup have played great this year..."This year's Ryder Cup runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome.
