Single RYDER CUP Star Viktor Hovland was smiling as his two team-mates hopped in to take a picture.

The Gala Dinner at The American Club in Wisconsin was Wednesday night and saw Team Europe's top golfers and their partners.

Before Friday's opening matches at The 43rd Ryder Cup, Captain Padraig Harrington was joined in the presence of his players and their Wags.

Unfortunately, for one Pringle Hovland he did not have anyone to accompany him to the fancy Gala Dinner.

However, he was not allowed to stand on his own when it came time to take photos.

Angela Akins, Sergio Garcia's wife, and Henrik Stenson’s wife Emma Lofgren, posed for photos pretending to kiss the 24-year old.

Hovland smiled big and beaming as the photo was taken.

The last time Team Europe was on American soil, they lost in the battle for the coveted trophy.

The USA seems to perform better at home.

Only three Ryder Cups have been won out of the ten previous competitions. All of their wins came in America.

Team Europe will however be trying to win two consecutive Ryder Cups at Whistling Straits.
