'Humbled' Stenson Named 2023 European Ryder Cup Captain

Henrik Stenson says he will do "everything in my power" to reclaim the Ryder Cup from the United States after being named as captain of the 2023 European team by golf chiefs on Tuesday. The first Swede to be named European captain boasts an impressive Ryder Cup record, helping Europe to victory over the United States in three of his five appearances as a player.

Probably no one gave a chance to the man who had just snapped a streak of three consecutive missed cuts with a T-74th finish at Arnold Palmer Invitational a week before. In 12 starts on the Tour, Lahiri had missed seven cuts and his best finish was tied 40th position. Besides, TPC Sawgrass had been a pain in the neck for the Bengali from Bengaluru. In five appearances at The Players, he had missed four cuts and finished tied 74th in 2019. And by his own admission this year, he was not enjoying the game anymore.
