World number one golfer Rory McIlroy believes that Rickie Fowler could pose a threat to Europe's bid to retain the Ryder Cup when they take on Team USA at Gleneagles this week.
Europe have a strong recent record in the tournament having won five of the last six contests, the latest coming at Medinah in 2012.
"Rickie Fowler - he could be a real talisman for the American team," McIlroy told Goals on Sunday. "Bubba Watson, Keegan Bradley, Phil [Mickleson] as well.
"Everyone's been talking about Europe being favourites but the Americans have still got a very strong team. We can't be complacent at all."
McIlroy heads into the clash in Scotland after winning back-to-back majors at the British Open and US PGA Championship.
