DUBLIN (Reuters) - Tom Watson's United States team will go into the 2014 Ryder Cup in Scotland "like a wounded animal" after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Illinois two years ago, said Europe captain Paul McGinley.

The Americans, under skipper Watson's predecessor Davis Love III, had one hand on the trophy when they took a 10-6 lead into the final day at Medinah, only for Jose Maria Olazabal's side to stage a remarkable comeback to win by 14 1/2 points to 13 1/2.
