JT and Tiger are big buddies. I have to think Tiger used his influence to get JT on the team.

What we really haven't talked about was that douchebag Freddie Couples saying Cam Young was going to be on the team then he gets left off. Imagine the range of emotions Young has gone through.

I’m pretty sure the fact that JT and ZJ stay together on Open Championship trips and that he pairs so well with Spieth had a slightly bigger impact than Tiger did.

I think you only play JT in the 4 balls and the singles. 3 matches tops. If he breaks even I think that’s a win.

The captain selected them. I assume they were selected to play, not sit.

8 four ball, 8 foursomes, 12 singles.

So the max is 5 matches.

Has a captains pick ever just played singles?
Who is most likely to play 5 matches?

Xander? Scottie?

The NLU guys played Marco Simone and posted it to YT. It’s definitely not a bomb and gouge course that fits most of the Americans team.

I would have those two guys play as much as they can handle. Definitely the two most consistent golfers and that can probably be said for both teams.

Peter Finch posted one yesterday. He made a 13 on one hole.

That’s the worst rough I’ve ever seen

He’s gotta figure out how to putt. His ball striking is so so good but the putting is egregious right now.

Thats why Scheffler/Burns is so dynamic in foursomes if they can setup the holes correctly

Scottie-1st strokes gained tee to green

Burns-11th strokes gained putting

Other options left home strokes gained putting

Keegan-21st
Cam young-145th
Glover-156th

And the course sucked outside of the finishing stretch. Shin deep rough 4 yards off the fairway all over the course is pretty bullshite.

Ryder Cup badly needs to go to a neutral selection committee going forward. The set ups going both ways are getting ridiculous.

I was trying to look thru it the other day to see how I’d play em, but I haven’t figured it out yet. There’s no easy par 5/par 3 thing where Scottie’s hitting all the irons into Sam’s putting.

Yeah, I think in a non youtube circumstance, he would have taken an unplayable after his tee shot found that rough instead of taking an unplayable after taking 5-6 hacks trying to get it out.

Agreed. Not only is it waist high or more in some areas, it's extremely lush and thick. Even the secondary cut looks like a nightmare.

That said, to his credit, Finch was only +6 on the other 17 holes
