  "account": "Jim Furyk, the 2003 US Open champion, has expressed his belief that Team USA will prepare better than ever ahead of the 2027 Ryder Cup, particularly focusing on the format of foursomes. The American team has struggled in this format in recent events, with Europe winning 13 points from the last 16 alternate shot matches. Furyk, who has also led Team USA in Ryder Cups at Le Golf National, acknowledges the team needs to improve in pairing players effectively and preparing them adequately for foursomes matches. He further stated that the team will be prepared and ready to showcase their talent, despite being underdogs. Despite the recent poor record in foursomes, Furyk is optimistic about the team's potential to change their fortunes in the 2027 Ryder Cup, held at Adare Manor.",
  "summary": "Jim Furyk has insisted the Americans will prepare better than ever before ahead of the 2027 Ryder Cup as he reflected on the team’s poor record in foursomes in recent events. Furyk is the latest captain tasked with trying to somehow mastermind a Ryder Cup victory on European soil for Team USA.",
