You’re looking into something that’s not there, I was watching live and there was nothing untoward.
Meronk will be going in my opinion anyway, we haven’t that many options

I'm also expecting both Meronk and MacIntyre to be in. The 12th man could be anyone he feels like picking I guess, but I have a feeling it will go to Noren as he at least has experience of going before, and on a year that we won.
Meronk, MacIntyre, Straka, Noren, is probably the favourite betting at this stage. Agree Noren has the advantage over any fourth newbie if the first three are in. At least have experience from one of the Weak Four.

That's MacIntyre qualified..
As is Fitz the elder barring a disaster.
When are the picks announced?

Fitz the Elder is probably breathing a little easier now and can be hopeful of a pick. I kinda think he is in now.
Meronk seems that bad, though quite why clearly so ahead of Paul eludes me - what their thinking there.
The last of the weak four is still anybody's guess, even Donald's, but in truth, probably doesnt make much difference which one of a handful he goes for. If Aberg is as cool a customer as he claims, that could be a reason to go for him rather than one of the last men in who have been busting a gut to be there but that internal hype might cause them implode when actually in the gladiator's arena itself.

Hard to not pick him after this week..

Macintyre seemed to be badly affected by the pressure. Ominous sign although hopefully he relaxes once he's in.
Like Straka and think he's good season in America should be rewarded. Feel Aberg is perhaps too much too soon but he's certainly giving a great account of himself here

I think Bob Mac might do a Fitzpatrick.
Hopefully I’m wrong, but he doesn’t do anything to convince me he won’t get soundly beaten.

For someone looking to punch his ticket for Rome it was a very ordinary display from him....looked like a startled rabbit at times...
Bob will be lucky to play one game before Sunday.
But the worm turns, and certainly recent mood momentum is with Europe even if USA still has the full deck of stars.
Hovland has become really top rank and is in prime form. Straka came reasonably good through the summer and can see him doing well in fourball. And Aberg, if nothing else, gives a serious hope boost, and maybe even more substance to back it up than Fitz or Hovland last outing. He also makes Donalds pick choice easier, less open to second thinking, external criticism, or worry Aberg might blow up in his face. Temptations for Noren or left field Harringtons are removed from the table for him.
USA have Harmon and Clark as late break ins into what would have probably have looked a more stellar team without them. And they have made the mistake of picking JT just for the chest pumps and beer chugging, when his golf is nowhere near the level. They will likely not play him a second time on Fri or Sat after he loses his first match.
All roads lead to Rome with optimism.

I reckon Meronk will go instead of Hojgaard, they need to revert both teams to 10 qualifiers and two picks.

A few people seem confident that Meronk isn’t going, and has been told.
Doesn’t add much credibility to the European Tour standings, when effectively the best European performer doesn’t make the Ryder Cup.

In the USA the Ryer Cup is a putting competition, in Europe its a tee shot competition, and looking at the rough at Marco Simone, this year will be no different.
Still one of the best sporting events in the calendar. Can't wait.

Aberg looks like a guy with huge ability and potential and current form says his game is hot but with just 70 odd days of form (& Pro experience) maybe this RC is just too soon
I mean he’s so new that its entirely possible he hasn’t even met all the players that’ll make up the rest of the team
