World number one Rory McIlroy insists the desire to redress the balance in Ryder Cup history means the event will not be diminished by Europe's recent dominance over the United States. The 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 victory at Gleneagles was their eighth in 10 attempts, but with the overall record in America's favour the Northern Irishman knows there is still a long way to go. Europe still trail 25-12 in terms of victories and captain Paul McGinley used a graphic depicting the divide as a motivational tool this week. It was celebrations all around as Rory McIlroy helped Europe win the Ryder Cup
