Dubuisson? Cracking player a year or two ago but he's dropped off a cliff this year, or have I missed something? I'd love to be wrong by the way.
You have to pick now...

Val
Ryder Cup Winner
Sullivan and Fitzpatrick have wins under their belt and you can't teach that experience. Hatton just happens to have had two good big money tournaments in a row recently. He got almost half a million euros at the Scottish Open.

Must be doing something right, he's no 9 on the European Tour points list
Not sure what the love in is with lowry, he's missed 2 cuts recently I think, I know because I had him in my Fantasy League for a few weeks and he returned zilch, nowt, zero, nuffin!

Must mainly be from the win last year because this year he is having a poor year - best result is tied 38th

Whilst finishing tied 2nd the event before. (Although it was only some small, nondescript tourney in the States)
Val
Ryder Cup Winner
The next few weeks will give us a clearer idea

Has potential for the worst European Ryder Cup team ever - maybe the worst Captain ever also (worse than Faldo yes!!!)........
I'd consider a form horse than someone who amassed their points 6 months ago. For example, Sullivan went very quiet from The Masters until a couple of weeks ago. Not suggesting not taking Sullivan, just using him as an example.
If Hatton maintains form I'd consider him at number 12.

But it's only been two comps for Hatton though ? And even then it's not a win - half his winnings were from a second place, also has had issues with temperament . I think looking at the list there will be quite a few rookies making the automatic slots so is Clarke going to add on more of those with more rookies in his pick ? Very risky move when there are a number of players around the points list that have the expirence both in RC and winning major comps. If he was up and challenging week in week out then could see the call for him - same with Johnston. A good showing in the PGA could push both up - certainly would need to see Hatton win a comp before the teams get announced

Is there enough time to duplicate (certainly not enough time to clone) Stenson? Maybe we need a dimensional anomaly or something?

Lowry, Kaymer, Kjeldsen for me
Slight concerns over Kjeldsen on that massive golf course but he does alright for himself normally
To be really harsh I wouldn't mind seeing Wood get overtaken by someone on the money list so it frees up a pick to then take Hatton realise he has been injured and therefore not played the Open or the Scottish. See how he does next week mind

I'm with the OP as well. Kjeldsen as the next in line should Wood not be fit.
Really don't get the Hatton hype on here. Still yet to win on a major tour, no experience on US soil, a notoriously hot head and a couple of good weeks on Links doesn't jump out to me as Ryder Cup material (yet). The US would be delighted if he was included at the expense of any of the other 4 being mentioned.

Kjeldsen and Lowry I think are shoe-ins... as to the third, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a slightly left-field pick the likes of GMAC, Westwood, Molinari, Donald or Harrington. The team currently is a bit light on experience, and while none of them are in particularly great form, they all have plenty of RC experience and could raise their game heading into the competition.

I think I would def take Westwood and kaymer, then most likely I'd opt for Beef, looks to me like he has the temperament for this sort of thing, and think everyone would enjoy watching him.
It certainly won't be easy in the US though, they have some really good players in good form, but I'm looking forward to it for sure.

With potentially 5 rookies automatically qualifying I cant see Clarke taking anymore debutants as picks. He's defo going to take his pal Westwood. Will Probably take Kaymer. Lowry I would like to see go but may need to get in automatically to get a slot and he has gone off the boil a bit recently. will be interesting.

Russel Knox, Kaymer and Westwood for me.

Would the format suit Westwood? He is playing some really good golf, just can't keep it together for 4 rounds at a time.
