McGinley's Dilemma

[didsbury_duffer]

Has to pick Poulter with his record, and will find it difficult not to pick Gallacher. That leaves one pick from Westwood, Donald and Molinari. Westwood's putting not up to it, and Donald not playing that well. Not sure about Molinari either. What do you reckon guys?

oh PLEASE NOT ANOTHER thread on this...................

We're gonna get tanked!

 

[JCW]

Poulter is one for sure , I also think he will pick Donald and Gallacher as the event is in Scotland , if not Donald then Molinari is the man

 

[Khamelion]

He'll pick Joost Luiten

 

[Siren]

Westwood, Poulter, Gallagher

 

[virtuocity]

Langer, Montgomerie and Faldo IMO.

 

[Captainron]

He'll pick Joost Luiten

Langer, Montgomerie and Faldo IMO.

Must be a chance for me too then :rofl:

 

[ManinBlack]

Westwood, Poulter, Gallagher

+1 for that. Not what I thought last week but Gallagher has played himself in.

Assuming Poulter and Gallacher are in - and they should be, then it is a tough choice from Westwood, Donald and Mollinari, none of whom are shoe-ins. Westy may be a better choice because he can team up well with others in the foursomes and fourballs as his record shows, but you can't say he is in good form. If you take from that, that whoever gets picked is only going to play the singles, then you may as well pick Langer. A big boost for the team room and why not pick an old guy in great form than a younger guy in the doldrums?
It would be a brave move to pick him though and Langer aside I think I would go with Poulter, Gallacher and Mollinari... Or Westwood...

Sorry but can't understand why anyone would want Langer - he is playing on the seniors tour where the competition is certainly a lot less competitive - the courses are set up a little shorter and less forgiving. If he was playing regulary on the ET and showing the same level of form then yes pick him

Not sure why he would be a big boost to the team room - he isn't the life and soul of a party

Langer's not even the best on the Senior Tour either, he's had some good tournaments, but Monty's been the dominant golfer on the Senior Tour this year. Neither should be picked though. Gallacher, Poulter, Luiten for me.

Cheeky sod, he thought that the team needed an injection of youth in it!

The photo was taken 15 months ago so I hope that the tee box has improved!
