Viktor ready for a test of stamina

Europe captain Luke Donald has told his star players to prepare to be left out of one or more sessions due to the combination of a severely undulating course and the high temperatures forecast for the biennial contest, which starts on Friday.

Caddies will have the option of using lightweight bags and could also be rested if they are unable to walk 36 holes in a day, with Tyrrell Hatton’s caddie Mick Donaghy having undergone knee surgery earlier this year.

Hovland and Jon Rahm were the only European players to contest all five sessions at Whistling Straits two years ago, with Dustin Johnson – who was the only American to do so – claiming five points as the United States enjoyed a record 19-9 victory.
