LONDON (AP) — Rory McIlroy sported his green Masters jacket at Wimbledon on Wednesday as a large part of the European Ryder Cup team sat in the Royal Box on Centre Court.
McIlroy was joined by teammates Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Edoardo Molinari and Francesco Molinari. Captain Luke Donald and vice captain Thomas Bjorn were also on hand to watch defending champion Jannik Sinner's second-round match against Nuno Borges.
French Open champion Mirra Andreeva and seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic were also set to play on Centre Court later.
McIlroy won his second straight Masters in April at Augusta National.
Europe beat the United States 15-13 last year in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
Other dignitaries in the Royal Box included actors Charles Dance and Richard E. Grant and nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova.
