Is it too early to be talking about September’s Ryder Cup? Maybe so, but we just can’t wait! On the American side, Patrick Reed overcame a (yet another) rules controversy to secure a dominant victory at the Farmers Insurance Open. At the same time, Paul Casey enjoyed an equally as impressive triumph at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Both golfers teed it up for their respective teams in Paris three years ago, and are almost nailed on to do the same this year at Whistling Straits. But, before then we have the little matter of the Solheim Cup taking place – which, if you remember, had one of the most dramatic final days in team-golf history last time out. It really is going to be a special year!
