European Ryder Cup Team

[Bucket92]

Who would you have in your European ryder cuo team for Medinah in September?

This would be my team;


Ryder cup team

Rory McIroy
Luke Donald
Lee Westwood
Justin Rose
Sergio Garcia
Graeme McDowell
Peter Hanson
Alvaro Quiros
Ian Poulter
Francesco Molinari
Martin Kaymer
Nicolas Colsaerts

 

[Sir Slicealot]

I think i'd substitute Paul Lawrie or Molinari, but other than that, i like your picks.

(Jimenez and Clarke as vice capains?, not too sure abut the other 2)

 

[Essex_Stu]

Id swap Molinari for Harrington.

 

[FairwayDodger]

No Quiros or Kaymer for me unless they improve their form. I'd have Paul Lawrie and Martin Laird for his US experience assuming he's playing well come selection time.

Might swap Colsaerts for Harrington but jury's still out on him as well.

Why would you ignore Paul Lawrie for a chopper like Quiros????

Kaymer is also struggling these days and I would not include him unless he makes it on merit.

Harrington is on the slide, he'll never win again!

 

[Bucket92]

I think Quiros has a bit of flair and determination whereas I think that Paul Lawrie is a bit of a boring old bugger tbh! Both good golfers in their own right though

 

[FairwayDodger]

Harrington is on the slide, he'll never win again!

While I tend to agree, he does seem to be approaching a bit of form and certainly has the big occasion experience.

 

[Junior]

Kaymer and Garcia worry me. Kaymer's not been in the best of form and Garcia seems weak in the mind at the minute. Although hopefully the Ryder sup will bring the best out of him and his putter.

I'd go for Mannesero over both of the above, he's a great putter, and thats where matchplay is won and lost.

Rory McIroy
Luke Donald
Lee Westwood
Justin Rose
Sergio Garcia (23)
Graeme McDowell (7)
Peter Hanson (9)
Alvaro Quiros (48)
Ian Poulter (26)
Francesco Molinari (11)
Martin Kaymer (25)
Nicolas Colsaerts (8)


You would genuinely have all these people ahead of Lawrie who is number 6 in RTD.

Poulter a resounding 100% yes he's just an amazing matchplay golfer. ​

Assuming that you have a totally free hand:

Rory McIroy
Graeme McDowell
Luke Donald
Justin Rose
Lee Westwood
Ian Poulter
Francesco Molinari
Edoardo MOLINARI
Sergio Garcia
Gonzalo FDEZ-CASTAÑO
Martin Laird
Paul LAWRIE

Chosen with pairings in mind.

 

[Bucket92]

Kaymer I wasn't 100% sure of, and I like the way Quiros plays, same with Sergio. But the rest of them are either ahead, or are only just behind lawrie in RTD, and I'll think they'll come good in the Ryder Cup

Gonzo is a worse putter than Valentino!!!!!!:ears:

 

[Val]

Gonzo is a worse putter than Valentino!!!!!!:ears:

And thats saying something.

 

[Bomber69]

And thats saying something.

Meat Loaf moment there "you took the words right out of my mouth":ears:

 

[coolhand]

Valentino must be an effitetive if not pretty putter then beacause Gonzo's stats aren't bad at >30 per round.

Bang bang Paul Lawrie, not playing great today - boom eagle finish -3.

Luvin it FD.

Porridge is finished he won't win again!





















































(lets see how many Irish bites I get!)

 

[sydney greenstreet]

I would at least have had Lawrie as my wild card, he is playing his best golf since 1999 and his putting must rank him in the top 10 on the European tour(you will correct me if im wrong:mmm. And i have a £5 on him to win a major this year only 2 to go.

 

[sydney greenstreet]

Just checked he is sitting at number 79
But then again Rory is at 75
