Sigh….another one with no damn clue.
Points
Max Homa - 3.5, only bright spot really on the team
Cantlay, Harman - 2 points.
JT, Brooks, Clark- 1.5 points
The Ryder Cup isn’t about what you shoot, it’s about being better than the other guy on the hole.
The European players know this. It’s a big part of why they win.

They’ve been stale and business like the past couple of Ryder Cups. Shake it up and bring a very passionate Keegan. Love it.

Neither side has a clue what it’s doing on foreign soil at the moment in the RC

Like I said, you have no damn clue.
By your stats, Fowler and Aberg were comparable.
Fowler- 0 points
Aberg - 2 points
By your stats Fowler outplayed 8 of the 24 players, yet he was the only player with ZERO points.
Two of the bottom 3 American players by your stats tied for 3rd on the US team in points.
Points matter. They’re quite literally the ONLY thing that matters.

He was pissed he didn’t make the team. I was too, he’s a competitor.

You can play great golf and lose. It isn’t a difficult concept. Especially in the team play portion. It’s even more volatile using W/L when half the time you either aren’t even playing or possibly not even using your ball

Hint…its got less to do with scores gained stats.

Match play is a different game than stroke.
We need people with a killer instinct

Cantlay was our best player in Europe and he is completely flat
Nobody was worried about us in 2019 or 2021 either. It’s almost the same exact team
There doesn’t need to be any major change to the US team for 2025. Europe are the ones that need to be thinking of how to compete again on US soil

I feel like it’s a combination of things. SG can be a little misleading in match play sometimes because all you’re trying to do is win the hole and play to your opponents.
Not always, but sometimes. Also, you can be fine on SG, but when it comes down to those last few holes do you have the ability to close out a match? Some dudes feel like killers, and others feel like house cats.

Problem is 100% this board would call Cantlay and homa house cats. You can find it in threads everywhere
Yet those dudes were our “killers” in 2023. You pick the best golfers at the time and roll with it.
The team that everyone wants to nuke into orbit from 2023 is virtually the same as the team that set the all time record in 2021

Max is a killer, and Cantlay was as motivated as ever last RC.
Honestly, my big thing is wanting people who really fricking care and prep for it like they care. Not saying it’s always going to work, but that’s my preference along with the obvious skill set that fits a course.

I know it sound so simple but I don’t think it really is that difficult. If two guys are similar then I agree using the course setup as the determining fact is the best step
I think the captain angle is the most over praised and over faulted thing in the entire ordeal

Cantlay being emotionless is what you need. That’s the point 
Posted on 7/8/24 at 10:53 pm to donRANDOMnumbers
Ok is DJ a killer or a house cat here?
He has been horrific at Ryder cups
Mediocre
And lights out fantastic
And for someone who earlier said we need to “be more like the euros” emotionless has not been their formula. Their Ryder cup foundation players have been the polar opposite

Partially.
Team chemistry is massively important. You can have two good players on a team, but if they don’t like each other much or just don’t really talk to anyone else but their caddy, much less their partner it doesn’t go so well.

I think you have to pair that with what makes sense to the team’s strengths. All the data people can figure that out. Burns/Scheffler obviously have great chemistry, but that pairing has been a disaster.

When I say Max is a killer, what I really mean is that when it feels like he gets in contention, he wins more often than not. He’s not a guy who gets a bunch of top 5s/top 10s without winning.
I didn’t really have a big issue with the picks last year when they first happened, but I feel like it’s always about learning things. Spieth having a kid 3 weeks before and not picking up a club was probably a sign that we should have left him at home considering he wasn’t even one of the top captain’s picks.
