Graeme McDowell highlights Team USA player boasting Scottie Scheffler-like iron play

Scottie Scheffler may be the clear top player in the world at the moment, but there are still doubts about who else on Keegan Bradley’s team will step up for the Ryder Cup.

Xander Schauffele, ranked third in the world, has not hit his stride yet this year. On the other hand, Bryson DeChambeau has not played a competitive round in several weeks.

Both Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas finished far down the leaderboard in Napa, adding to concerns about their current form.

However, there might be one player on the team with the game to surprise everyone at Bethpage.

The American Ryder Cup player who is on Scottie Scheffler’s level with his irons

Graeme McDowell has a strong understanding of what it takes to succeed in the Ryder Cup, having secured the winning point for Europe at Celtic Manor in 2010 and going unbeaten in three matches at Gleneagles in 2014.

Speaking on The Smylie Show, McDowell shared his thoughts on which player from Bradley’s side could make a surprising impact.

“Looking at the American team, there’s so many guys that we know so much about. Obviously, Ben Griffin‘s a guy, I don’t know him super well. Russell Henley, to me, I’ve known him for a long time. He was always a decent player, but it’s amazing how he’s become a late bloomer if you like.”
