FARMINGDALE, New York (Reuters) -The U.S. Ryder Cup team's rookies are accomplished players who will be able to handle the pressure when they tackle the fearsome Bethpage Black Course, their teammates said on Tuesday as the rowdy New York fans look for big things from the hosts.

Rookies make up a third of the U.S. team, with four new faces playing in the biennial match play competition - J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Ben Griffin and Cameron Young - compared to one newcomer on Team Europe, Dane Rasmus Hojgaard.
