Ryder Cup diary: Seve’s spirit lives on, while Fleetwood is mistaken for a fan

Ballesteros is still inspiring Europe, and Patrick Cantlay plays down perceived criticism from US teammate Brooks Koepka

In the Eternal City, the spirit of Seve Ballesteros lives on. Luke Donald's chosen tribute to the European Ryder Cup legend is a subtle one. On the inside of the shirts donned by Europe's players this week, on the reverse of the Ryder Cup badge and therefore against the heart, is an unmistakable motif of Ballesteros. The Spanish golfer died in 2011, aged 54, but has been a constant source of reference for Ryder Cup captains. Ballesteros's compatriot and longtime Ryder Cup partner Jose Maria Olazabal is one of Donald's vice-captains here.
