There are occasionally questions asked over a player making their Ryder Cup debut. How will he handle the pressure? The crowd? The occasion? But Morikawa has shown over the last year that a lack of previous experience can also count for little. He won on his debut appearances at both the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 Open Championship, and was the first player to qualify for Team USA. Asked about his preferred Ryder Cup playing partners, he chose Justin Thomas or Xander Schauffele: "Those guys have very similar games, they're very consistent. They're just guys you get along with. I think that's what a big part of it is about, not just matching up games. I've hung out with Xander, I've hung out with JT and I played a lot of golf with them. That just makes things a little easier by the time when you're put in a setting with 40,000 fans around you, hitting a first tee shot."Appearances: Four (2010, 2012, 2016, 2018)Record: Won 7 Lost 9 Halved 0 "Helenius' manager Markus Sundman has taken a hard and correct position, in my opinion, that Robert is the WBA mandatory to Usyk," said Borao. Josh Cullen might have done better when presented with a shooting opportunity by Matheus Nunes' slip, but so too might Ronaldo when he drilled a free-kick straight at Duffy seconds later. Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first and while Williamson admitted he would have done the same on a used surface, bowling first did not seem much of a hardship for New Zealand as they claimed three wickets in the powerplay.
