not bad.

Did you think to check to see if it was correct first ?

It’s wrong btw

It doesn’t have his result at the BMW or the crucial one at the French

Sergio wasnt on my radar for a pick ,but he is now in the team soooooooo
COME ON EUROPE. lets spank the yanks.

Probably the only sensible post on this thread in the last 3 pages or so. The thread can close now IMHO - the picks have been made; nothing else needs to be said.

Why bother when rainman will do it for me? You don’t have a dog and bark yourself

Oh and on the Sergio pick, in 2012 a certain German major winner was in the side and couldn’t hit an elephants arse with a banjo for about a year leading up to, and indeed during, the Ryder Cup. Ended up having the bottle to hole in effect the winning putt. Something for all you other pros on this Forum who didn’t get a pick to possibly remember...........🤔😉😂

Tbf hindsight can prove many a thing. Just like last time when most complained about the boys club and got it right. Re Kaymer, that imo was just one of those things. If he was that calm and collected, he’d probably not have sent the first putt a mile past lol

Come on, he did that deliberately to just ramp up the drama and tension that little bit more! And to build up the septics hopes!! 😉😂😂

No need to reply if you're not interested. Plenty of people like to debate the merits, pro's and cons and chew the fat.

Everyone is entitled to share their views.

Golfs a funny game it only takes one good round.
Bit surprised by Sergio but he is the Masters champion.
Matchplay can bring the best out of players who are out of form.

Didn’t say I wasn’t interested but just highlighted how there was a sensible post amongst all the drivel and rubbish! Of course everyone is entitled to share their views........even when they’re clearly in the wrong!! 😂

No need to reply to this if you’re not interested! 😉😂

Why such an overreaction? You would think Bjorn had personally insulted people just because he has picked players that he thinks will give him the best chance of winning , they don’t pick players based on any old boy handshake at least give Bjorn the credit he deserves and has earned.

If his picks don’t work out then it will be his choice he have to live with but there is no guarantees that any of the others will do any better

It’s not an overreaction it’s people’s opinions

 

[Beezerk]

He has picked him based on his ability in team events quite clearly r

Last time I played golf I had to hit the shots myself. Team player is utter baloney, it's a lonely place out there against the top players in the world, maybe give a few gee up to his PP but that's it.

What a complete nonsense of a comment and either just looking for affect or don’t understand

I guess you have never played golf in a team format then or watched any of the past 20 Ryder Cups or heard the players speak about the Ryder Cup - it maybe a single sport but the Ryder Cup is a team format and there are team players and in the Ryder Cup you are not in a lonely place. They play in the Ryder Cup not for themselves but for their teammates and the team they are playing for. It’s just about winning 1 point.

Opinion based on what? That’s the issue with this place, unqualified opinion. I wouldn’t ask a plumber to look at my accounts, if he’s got an opinion I’d ignore it as being rubbish.
Would I have picked Sergio...no but I’m a rank amateur. I would trust a professional to make an informed decision & make a choice that puts his reputation on the line. Bjorn has been working on this for nearly 2 years. I’d choose an accountant to look at my books & i’ll trust a professional to pick a Ryder cup team👍👍

my apologies.
Meant he is a major champion so he can get up for this

Team golf can inspire, someone can be completely out of form in an individual event but the thought of letting your teammates down can really turn your game around. Garcia has shown some excellent form in previous Ryder Cups, I wouldn't be surprised if he did so again in this one.

 

[User20205]

He’s got a valid point. Team golf, especially foursomes, is about more than hitting decent golf shots.

Why is it unqualified?

What's to say that a poster on here hasn't been following the progress of the Ryder Cup team for two years?

Getting worked up over people's opinions on the internet? What happens if your plumber was an accountant prior to retraining as he was bored sitting behind a desk all day?

Garcia is an awful pick, he is playing terrible golf and has done for most of the year.
