McGinley warns Europe squad against complacency in hopes of winning Ryder Cup

Europe golf team captain Paul McGinley has warned his players against satisfaction as he packed his singles order with strength in hopes of winning the four points needed to retain the Ryder cup.

McGinley's side lead U.S. 10-6 after a commanding penultimate session and the Irishman is keen to maintain the momentum as they chase a third straight win against the Americans. Graeme McDowell, Henrik Stenson, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Stephen Gallacher and Martin Kaymer make up Europe's top six.

Thomas Bjorn, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, Jamie Donaldson and Lee Westwood will follow with French debutant Victor Dubuisson in the anchor role, The BBC reported.

The Europeans are mindful that they came back from the same scoreline in a remarkable fightback at Medinah two years ago, while the Americans also hit back from 10-6 down at Brookline in 1999.

McGinley said that it is important that they don't concede momentum, adding that hopefully, with the players he has in there that won't happen.

McGinley said that his invitation to Sir Alex Ferguson to speak to the team earlier in the week was designed to drum home the need to fight against complacency and handle being favourites at home.
