And with both heading into the 28 team tournament, which comprises of four rounds of fourballs and alternate shot foursomes, on the back of recent wins, confidence and camaraderie is high with a victory certain to catch the attention of Ryder Cup Captain and former World Cup winner Colin Montgomerie.

"I don’t think we got off to a great start here last year, but we went from strength to strength and finished really strong," said Ross.

"But we were both still disappointed not to finish inside the top three or even win.".

"Now we are coming back both in good form. Ian just had a win, I’ve just had a win and we both have just had good seasons on The European Tour. We have got to go out and play aggressive golf in the fourballs, play steady golf in the foursomes. This week is all about having fun and having a go, and I’m sure we will do that."

"Fisher’s timely win at the Volvo World Match Play Championship in Spain last month came just hours after 2004 Ryder Cup winner Poulter ended a three year drought in Singapore meaning both would currently automatically qualify for The Celtic Manor Resort.

Ross added: "Hopefully I can play myself into The Ryder Cup team, but all I can do is take one tournament at a time and hopefully that will be good enough.

"I will think about the Ryder Cup more next year when it is a Ryder Cup year, but this is obviously a good stepping stone. If me and Ian can play well in the fourballs and foursomes and have a good week, maybe Colin will be looking at it. I’ve also won the Match Play which is also a massive boost for me."
