ATLANTA -- Johnny Miller?doesnt agree with Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III that this U.S. team is the best maybe ever assembled. He still has a hunch the Americans finally will win, mainly because of the European team they are facing.I do believe the Euros have got, at least on paper, the worst team theyve had in many years, Miller said Saturday at the Tour Championship.Europe is going after its fourth straight victory -- and ninth out of the past 11 -- in the Ryder Cup next week in Minnesota at Hazeltine National. Europe has six rookies on its 12-man team. It has never won a Ryder Cup with that many rookies when the matches were in America.I just think with all those rookies ... when you lose [Ian] Poulter, its like tearing your heart out, Miller said. I think this is the year not only could the U.S. win, they could win by like five points.Poulter led Europe to a record-tying comeback the last time the Ryder Cup was held on U.S. soil, making five straight birdies in a fourballs match Saturday night at Medinah that gave his team hope going into Sunday singles, which it won to overcome a 10-6 deficit.Poulter is recovering from a foot injury and will be at Hazeltine as a vice captain.Miller, a two-time major champion and now the lead analyst for NBC Sports, played in only two Ryder Cups when it was one-sided. He went 6-2-2, and the Americans won those two Ryder Cups (1975 and 1981) by a combined 19 points.Miller said the Americans would look down the European roster and see plenty of strong Ryder Cup players in Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Martin Kaymer and perhaps even Masters champion Danny Willett, one of the six rookies.But theres a bunch of guys you just dont have that much confidence in, Miller said. Even [Lee] Westwood, I dont know if he can make putts in Ryder Cup pressure. Chris Wood? Who knows? Thomas Pieters has a good game for Hazeltine, but he might melt under Ryder Cup pressure.Love said during a radio interview Friday that the Americans dont have to do anything super human to win the Ryder Cup because were a great team. This is the best golf team maybe ever assembled.Miller was on the 1981 Ryder Cup team that is regarded as the best, with 11 players who combined to win 49 majors. Nine of them are in the Hall of Fame.Asked if this U.S. team could match his 1981 team, Miller smiled and said, No. This is not at that level.

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Welterweight world titleholder Danny Garcia, idle since winning a vacant 147-pound title on Jan. 23, will make his first defense on Nov. 12 in his hometown of Philadelphia, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the plans.Garcia does not yet have a set opponent, but the bout, which will headline a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike, will be held at the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University. A news conference is being planned for next week to announce the event, one of the sources said.Garcia has not fought in Philadelphia since 2010 and will be fighting in his hometown for only the fourth time in his career, which began in 2007. He has fought once previously at the Liacouras Center, notching a second-round knockout of Enrique Colon in 2009 on the undercard of Philadelphia legend Bernard Hopkins lopssided, 12-round decision against Enrique Ornelas.ddddddddddddGarcia (32-0, 18 KOs), 28, the former unified junior welterweight world champion, vacated his title and moved up to welterweight last year. In January, he won a unanimous decision -- 116-112 on all three scorecards -- against Robert Guerrero to win the welterweight title belt that Floyd Mayweather vacated upon his retirement in September 2015.A victory by Garcia next month could lead to a unification fight with titleholder Keith Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) in early 2017. That is one of the more attractive bouts in the deep weight class and figures to be somewhat easy to make, since Garcia and Thurman are both managed by PBC creator Al Haymon. ' ' '
