Europe's Stephen Gallacher believes that this week's Ryder Cup contest against the USA at Gleneagles will be full of "drama".
The Scotsman was given a wildcard pick by captain Paul McGinley after missing out on automatic qualification.
Ahead of the contest, which gets underway on Friday, the rookie told reporters: "The course is perfect. It's going to be great for viewing with lots of birdies, especially coming down the stretch with a couple of par fives.
"The Ryder Cup is all about the drama and passion and we will get that. I feel ready for playing now and I'm a better golfer than I was 10 years ago."
Europe have won five of their last six encounters against the USA, the latest being in Medinah in 2012.
