In Pictures: Photogenic Captain Takes a Stroll in the Ryder Cup Combat Field

The enthusiastic captain of the Ryder Cup Europe team is not shy of the camera at all. Of course, the field of sports does include showmanship as a major part of it. However, it’s not every sportsperson that feels as comfortable in front of the camera. Especially if it’s during moments when they are not “required” to be on camera.

Luke Donald is one of those who is a natural on the riskier end of the lens. He doesn’t just embrace photo-ops with ease but actually pulls off looking good in a majority of clicks. He might be having a little something that we call a photogenic quality to his appearance.

Luke Donald turns heads at Marco Simone

As the Ryder Cup vibe spreads across the golf world, the Marco Simone golf club is turning into a happening place. There was a pre-tournament press conference a few hours back. Questions were asked and answered, obviously. And also photos were taken as well.

And the highlight of the pictures from the event was how Luke Donald pulled off posing for those, like a star. The handsome Englishman looked stunning in the pictures and here are some of them, in no particular order.

The Coolers look quite well-suited for Donald and the sharp frame design compliments his facial shape. The 45-year-old carries quite the expressions and doesn’t limit himself to serious and regal postures. He did sport some swag in the pictures and went a bit out to exhibit his charm.

Even when he is in the middle of a conversation, Donald manages to sport a smiling face and look perfect for the camera. This guy is probably a photographer’s delight.

This one picture is sufficient to tell you how cool this captain is. The boyish swag he carries as he holds his coolers is a testament to how comfortable he is to present himself before the camera.

The way Donald carries himself, and appears, has a definite air of authority in it. He is able to pass off as a capable leader, in the way he looks. Despite some clicks being candid and unposed, they look smooth and stylish.

We wonder what is going on inside his head as he looks into the blank space intently. He definitely has the pressure to not let a landslide victory fall in the hands of his opponents. Donald can’t let 2021 happen all over again. There is also the pressure to sustain the record that the US hasn’t won a Ryder Cup on European soil in the past 30 years. We’ll soon know how that turns out!
