Ahead of the tournament, Jon Rahm spoke about his rookie team members in a press conference. He said:
"I always tell them it's very easy to really be in your mind and your feelings because you don't really know how to process a week like this so ask as many questions as you can from anybody.
"There's no such thing as a stupid question. Just that curiosity is going to get you somewhere. At the same time, I understand that they're here wanting to prove why they're here and make their mark as Rookies, but there's always something to learn from some of the great players."
The Ryder Cup will have its final on Sunday, October 1.
