(Reuters) - Europe may be viewed as the underdogs in the forthcoming Ryder Cup compared to their American opponents, but Tommy Fleetwood said his team will head into the biennial competition starting on Friday full of confidence.

Europe have an average world ranking of 30 compared to nine for the United States, but with seven players back from their 2018 team that lifted the title in Paris, Fleetwood believes they have what it takes to win at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
