European Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley says he’s unconcerned with the one player in the European Ryder Cup team that is not only a mystery to many of his Gleneagles team members but also to the rival USA side.

Dubuission will be among six players, three on each team, making their Ryder Cup debut in eight days time at Gleneagles.

The Frenchman, with the Eroll Flynn looks, is the first French-born golfer since Thomas Levet in 2004, to compete in the biennial competition.

And despite some uncertainty if Dubuisson will embrace the team format McGinley has none.

“Victor is Victor, as we all know (smiling broadly),” said McGinley.

“He contacted me to say that he felt he could prepare better down in France and where he is this week.  I know he’s down there with the French Federation doing some work for them.

“I also know they are very proud of him being on the team and I know he’s doing some work and video stuff for the Junior Ryder Cup coming up and wishing them the best of luck, having played in that before.

“The one thing that makes me feel happy and secure in terms of Victor’s preparation is the fact that he’s a guy who disappears, and then all of a sudden comes out of nowhere and plays well in a tournament. We saw him after a sustained time he had off at the BMW PGA Championship when he was injured and missed a lot of tournaments having played so well in the World Match Play.

“The whole world is like, where’s Victor, and then he comes out and nearly wins the Nordea Masters.

“I have no problem with him having an extended period of time away from competitive golf from playing because he’s proven in the past that doesn’t affect his performance. Again he’s a guy who is ready and I know he’s really keyed up and looking forward to next week.”
