European Ryder Cup Team

[Deleted member 15344]

Reading the thread on MAJ and making the Ryder Cup Team i had a peek at the latest points standings

European Points List - Top 4 make it

1. Victor Dubuisson
2. Jamie Donaldson
3. Thomas Bjorn
4. Henrik Stenson

World Points List - Top 5 not already qualified via the European points list

1. Sergio Garcia
2. Rory McIlroy
3. Justin Rose
4. Luke Donald
5. Martin Kaymer

So the question is - who could drop out by September

Who can make a late run

And Who will be the three wildcard picks

I think Bjorn could struggle - has a lot of points but his form has dropped and a couple of good rounds from Poulter puts him above both Stenson and Bjorn

Think Westwood is making a great run at the right time and if he doesnt make it will get a Captains pick

If those were the 9 then my three picks would be simple for two of them

Poulter
Westwood

Then either Gallacher or McDowell

Westwood and Poulter will get picks no matter what as will Gmac.

Not looking a bad side, assuming Westwood, Poulter and McDowell get picks. MAJ could still break into the team.:thup:

Looking forward to Gleneagles, I hope we get some fresh faces in the team this year. But there is still a lot of golf to be played this year before the team is anywhere near complete!

I like to see the Ryder Cup team have more interesting characters in the team, not solid players who don't make for good viewing. So I wouldn't have Hanson in the team for instance, as I just don't find him that interesting to watch, same with Bjorn in a way

This, to me, is and always has been the downside of a qualification process that spans 12 months.
Between August last year and March this year, Stenson, Bjorn and Dubuisson were flying, scoring qualification points for fun.
All 3 have dropped off...
Form last Autumn doesn't always carry forward to this Autumn.
As always, there will be one or 2 names that miss out - my hope is that those who qualify are in form at the right time.
Take Young Vic.
3-4 good finishes early season and he's virtually certain to make the team
Since he went to play Stateside he hasn't done much......
