On becoming the leading points winner his quote was

I reckon that'll do it hahaWill be due to Faldo calling him useless at/after the 2008 ryder Cup is it not?

Our "picks" performance stands up to scrutiny .... US doesnt!
Tiger and BDC were not questionable at all though in my book, they were both in good form with recent wins. The only dodgy one was Mickelson since he's been off form for a long time, seemingly. Same for us, I think Garcia was the only questionable pick for us - luckily that gamble paid off as he somehow pulled his best golf out of the hat.That's true - but didn't last time when Westwood and Kaymer were very poor, and Clarke had not picked the in form Knox (who would have easily qualified if his HSBC win in late 2015 had been counted) and who was likely to be more suited to the conditions in a US event.
Ultimately it's horses for courses.
I couldn't fault the guys America picked. These were the guys next in line on the list and there were very good reasons for picking Phil, Tiger and Bryson (who all bombed). Ok, so a Kisner, Zach Johnson, Kuchar team looks potentially far more ominous on that course, after we've seen the event. And who is to say Europe wouldn't have opted for a more 'neutral' set up if the US had picked all those guys.
But the pressure on these guys would have been immense if they'd been picked ahead of Tiger, Bryson and Phil.
