"They probably have more players in the top 10, top 20 in the world than they've ever had and they do seem to be on a nice bit of a purple patch at the moment. "They're incredibly strong on paper aren't they, not just on paper but they are actually incredibly strong. "I can't control it but I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't looking ," Harrington told Sky Sports News. Team USA won the Ryder Cup on home soil at Hazeltine in 2016
