Paul McGinley has called for a calming of the hype around Ludvig Aberg \u2014 and believes Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm need to closer resemble the historic greats of the European team if Luke Donald\u2019s side are to avenge their 2021 Ryder Cup thrashing in Rome this month.<\/p>\n
The victorious 2014 captain declared Aberg the \u2018real deal\u2019 after the 23-year-old followed his win in Switzerland by finishing in the top 10 at the BMW PGA Championship.<\/p>\n
However, McGinley says Donald will need to manage the expectations and pressure around the Swedish phenomenon, whose rise in the three months since he turned professional has been accompanied by worldwide attention.<\/p>\n
McGinley, who will be working as a pundit in Rome for Sky Sports, told Mail Sport: \u2018He\u2019s the real deal. There\u2019s no doubt that he had a bad day on Sunday (Aberg slipped from first to 10th on the final day at Wentworth) and you have to remember success is not a straight line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But for three days he did very well, he won in Switzerland and he\u2019s really hit the ground running since he turned pro.\u2019<\/p>\n
