Occasional Tour Caddy
Not to detract from the other post/s and just for kicks
I've already 'outed' myself as a naysayer and predicting doom and gloom for Europe's chances this time round so I thought I'd ask who might (hopefully) prove me wrong
Here is the US team as it stands (just based on rankings)
1. Dustin Johnson
2. Jordan Spieth
3. Phi Mickelson
4. Jimmy Walker
5. Brooks Koepka
6. Zach Johnson
7. J.B. Holmes
8. Brandt Snedeker
9. Bubba Watson
10. Patrick Reed
11. Matt Kuchar
12. Rickie Fowler
Here the cream of team Europe (again on rankings)
Henrik Stenson
Rory McIlroy
Danny Willett
Chris Wood
Sergio Garcia
I'd happily put money on Stenson taking on any of the US team & getting a result and Garcia doing the same against the bulk
However I wouldn't put pocket change on either Willett, Wood or McIlroy reaching the 17th hole against 80% of their team in matchplay (either because its too close to call for a money bet or I fear they have little chance)
Am I wrong or will we need the guys outside Europe's 'elite' to really make the difference this time if we're to have any chance?
This is just for fun & opinions so toys to remain firmly in prams please
