The last two times the Irish pair – dubbed the Supermacs – played fourball together at the 2009 World Cup they averaged 11 under par for the two rounds.
Telegraph golf pundit Mark Reason says: “That’s just how it was for Seve and Olly, the greatest ever Ryder Cup partnership. They played 15 matches together, won 11, halved twice and lost twice. They also loved the big pressure roles.”
“It gives you added pressure because you want to put blue on the board early. I enjoy playing that role. G-Mac and I bring the best out of each other,” says McIlory.
