US Ryder Cup team

Now that the USPGA's over, the 8 confirmed members of the American team are:

Phil Mickelson
Hunter Mahan
Bubba Watson
Jim Furyk
Steve Stricker
Dustin Johnson
Jeff Overton
Matt Kuchar

Who do you think the Captain's picks will be? When you look down the rest of the standings, there aren't too many names that are likely to worry the Europeans. No doubt Kim will get the nod but after that...who knows?

Zach Johnson?

Kim might not get there. Dodgy thumb.
Regardless the team doesn't strike fear into the soul does it..

 

[Ethan]

I think he might take the next 4 - Kim, Glover, Johnson and Woods. Beyond that is Bo van Pelt, Cink and Ben Crane. Can't see any of them getting Pavin very excited.

Kim if he's fit will be an automatic choice.
Glover as he's a dam fine player.
O'Hair I think will get the nod.
Cink due to his experience.

I think Tiger may be omitted. I don't think he is a committed "team" player nor do I believe he'll fit in. Its also rumoured that the wives of the players still don't want to know him and it's a crucial part of the team. Creating an atmosphere is not in Pavin's best interests.

Agree 100%. By taking the next four it takes a bit of heat out of the should he pick/not pick Tiger debate

 

[viscount17]

he'll take Cink before Woods (half expect Woods to declare himself not available)
then if Kim is injured any of Barnes, Watney or Holmes

 

[Dodger]

Can't believe no one has mentioned Ricky Fowler.

I laughed at the start of the year when GM tipped him but I have to say I think he is a stick on to get the nod.

As for the rest,who cares? We are gonna cuff them anyway!

What about Tom Watson , him and Langer can have a nice battle in the singles
