I think Finau moved up to #6.  I assume you would choose Schauffele if he finishes outside the autopicks?

You’re right. Xander a bit of a pillow fighter, but he’s on my team.

Are you all-in on Scheffler, Berger, and Burns?  We may have avoided a disaster with Reed likely being out.  I'm thinking top 6 and:

Jordan
Xander
Harris

Are you a hard no on Webb Simpson?

Scheffler and Berger should be locks. Burns I can easily see being overlooked, wouldn’t be upset about it.

I’m a Webb guy, he’s a great teammate and always ready to jump on grenade.

If Phil makes the team though, turncoat time.

For anyone who has gone to these things... typically what time do the practice rounds get going in earnest? Have tix for Wednesday, and trying to figure out if I can sneak a morning meeting or two in before heading up.

Looks like the Junior Ryder Cup starts at 1, practice rounds at 9.  I could be wrong but I’d bet practice rounds are largely over by 1 but that’s a best guess, not factual

Good.

[Herman Cain]

So Kevin Na tied with John Rahm for th actual lowest score at the Tour Championship. I wonder if that is enough to get him a Captains pick

No pun intended, but nahhh. And also, talk about another annoying playing style

Finau

This mirrors my picks.

If Brooks is out, Webb or Burns. I could go either way.

Na got robbed

Might as well slap a UW hat on Rico and call him Strick.

Team Europe by a dozen

[tower912]

I have that same feeling.   

[MuggsyB]

I just don't know what to expect from Berger and Scheffler.  I guess this means Koepka is fine?  I expect the USA to win a close contest.

Berger and Scheffler have been two of the best players in the world over the past year.

Na got robbed

No he didn't.  Na was ranked 19th in Ryder Cup points, Whistling Straits going to play extremely long and Na is way down in driving distance/accuracy stats, course is too long for him and Stricker knows that as well.  Plus he drove Justin Thomas crazy with his slow play on the greens two weeks ago and would not make a very good partner in any format.

Why do you think the Euros will punk us? I think we  have higher ranked players overall. 

[MuggsyB]

Unless I'm seeing things Uncle R we have 9 of the top 11 players in the world all playing on this team.  Why on earth will they get destroyed?

[tower912]

On paper, the US should nearly always win.
How has that played out the last 30 years? Euros usually overperform their rankings.   See the Solheim Cup as just the latest example.    Rahm is on a mission after being forced to miss the Olympics.   Bad juju in the locker room.   At least Reed is out.

Because they always get destroyed?   The women had more top 30 players and got mopped.  Euros are better at team play than the country club, Jupe-life boys of team USA

[tower912]

Who is the dog on the American team?   Who has the personality to dominate the locker room in a positive fashion?
