Now for the Yanks picks.....

[Dodger]

Anyone manage to nail all 4 picks?
I will go for
1)JB HOLMES
2)S VERPLANK
3)S STRICKER
4)DJ TRAHAN

Possibly S O'Hair instead of Trahan.
Hardly 4 to be scared of,I doubt our lads will be shitting it against any of these guys.

They will be if they draw JB Holmes. There aren't enough daylight hours to get round, so they will be under pressure to get an early result.

My tips

Steve Stricker
Hunter Mahan
Rocco Mediate
Zach Johnson

 

[John_Findlay]

Dennis PAULSON,
Ted SCHULZ,
Spike MCROY
Rick FEHR

...or if Zinger wants to pick some decent players then how about Scott Hoch the Choke, Mark 4 up with 4 to play v Monty and draws Calcavechia, Craig Tiddlermisser Stadler and Ben where's my putter Crenshaw.

J B Holmes v's O Wilson could possibly be the slowest singles match in golfing history. JB Holmes is golf's 2nd biggest joke closely behind N Faldo.

Anyone that needs his caddie to line up a 1 foot putt should be booted off the tour.

 

[John_Findlay]

What about Kevin NA and D.A. POINTS? I suspect they might get nada points.

 

[birdieman]

Too good John! Have you got a spare afternoon by chance?

 

[John_Findlay]

Oh what fun it is looking at the names on the US Ryder Cup standings list!

http://www.rydercup.com/2008/usa/teaminfo/team_standings.html

Here are some possible pairings Zinger could come up with;-

Holmes/Watson
Flesch/O'Hair
Daly/Weekley
Gay/Couples
Wilson/Thatcher
Herron/Byrd
Funk/Kim
Hart/Burns

 

[John_Findlay]

......erm...yes Stu. Sorry mate.

 

[USER1999]

Yes, very good. You're bored aren't you.

 

[John_Findlay]

Yes, Murph.

By the way, I'm amazed no-one spotted the obvious "pirate" pairing of Walker/Verplank.

Jeesh. Saying Stricker, Holmes, Austin and Johnson is so predictable.

 

[golfandmoregolf]

he can pick whoever!!! only one result anyways...

 

[John_Findlay]

I can't believe I missed the obvious "Muppet Show" pairing of Stadler/Waldorf !

What was I thinking?

 

[grumpyjock]

Who are you think of with Waldorf-Stadler?
That could be Perry-Curtis.

 

[mackenzie]

I saw JB Holmes at Birkdale. It was hilarious. +16 and an expression which said "get me on the goddam airplane back to target golf courses asap"

If J B Holmes plays they'll have to extend the competition into the following week.

 

[USER1999]

Michelle Wie?

Or did she qualify outright?

 

[Ken_A]

Michelle Wie?

Or did she qualify outright?

I just LOL'd and some of my coffee and biscuit mouthful managed to hit the screen.

 

[theeaglehunter]

Yea I'll give you that one Murph- very funny!

more seriously I think Azinger will pick:

1)Steve Stricker
2)Rocco Mediate
3)Zach Johnson
4)Woody Austin

 

[stevelockie]

I'll agree with half your picks Eagle. I think Zinger will go for:

1. Steve Stricker
2. Woody Austin
3. Hunter Mahan
4. Brandt Snedeker (or maybe Sean O'Hair)

Good mix of youth and experience (Presidents Cup not RC)
