Spieth deserved the captains pick so it's good to see him on the team. The US team looks pretty strong compared to the Internationals, but I hope we get to see some good matches between both teams. The international team hasn't really fared well.

Best Regards,
Ryan

Sadly true. :pound:

The most notable thing about the internationals is the relative absence of Asian players. When you compare to the women (where a rest-of-the-world team would smoke both the US and Europe), the Asian men just haven't shown up recently.

Must have been hard for Nick Price to leave Tim Clark out. They are good mates and Tim has been a good soldier in the Presidents Cup. But it was probably the right thing to do.

Stretch.

Saw this today, first of all, great call on Speith, guy has really been spot on. Team International: No Poulter, Westwood, Gramm, Rory, Garcia? That's surprising....

International is everyone except Europe and the U.S. Europe is Ryder Cup.

Agree, Spieth was a great pick.  No Jim Furyk, his team competition streak ends at 15, dating back to '97 Ryder Cup

Also came across this, equipment breakdown.  TaylorMade needs to spend more money, $100 million budget isn't cutting it :-P

Any word on whether Louis Oosthuizen will be ready to go- doesn't look like he has played in competition since withdrawing from The Open?

I hope Couples does some different groupings. I am sick of Tiger always being with a veteran. Give him someone younger and get him energized to want to be there and playing. I think Bradley really helped Phil game in the Ryder Cup. Plus I would like to see Dufner and Bradley together, they seem to be close freinds and wonder if Bradley could get some emotion out of Dufner.

US team is much more loaded, based on OWGR

US team, OWGR:
1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

Int'l team OWGR:
2, 18, 19, 20, 21, 29, 32, 35, 38, 50, 59, 70

Players play, tough players win!

That would be awesome but I know Keegan loves to be partnered with Phil.

Agree with the kudos on the Spieth pick. Question on Furyk's streak: has he historically performed well in team competitions? I only recently began following team competitions and my primary memories of Furyk are his chokes in the partner matches (with Tiger) and the recent singles match (at Medinah). Does anyone have info on his overall match record?

Did you Google "Furyk Ryder Cup record"? :whistle:

9-17-4

I should have asked someone else to do that for me. It almost killed me to do it.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Lol, point taken. Although the data seems to confirm my hunch, that Furyk has been a substandard Ryder Cup performer.

That said, he appears to have been light's out at the President's Cup (20 wins/10 losses/not sure how may pushes). Not sure what to attribute the discrepancy to.

    • Day 97 - Right oblique strain, so I took it easy with some putting. 
    • Well, to be fair, if you have an iPhone and Apple watch connected via bluetooth, you can do everything from your watch though I suppose the screen is somewhat smaller than the Shotscope/Garmin devices
    • Day 45, 4/09/2024: Had a range session again today. Started on my priority piece for a while. Then worked on targets. 5 balls with a 6 iron at a 175 yard target. Then 5 balls with an 8 iron at a 150 yard target. Then 5 balls with PW at a 125 yard target. Then 5 balls with a 7-iron at a 165 yard target. Then 5 balls with a 9 iron at a 140 yard target. Finally 5 balls with GW at a 110 yard target. Overall it went very well.  Then later on I did my overspeed training. I sometimes forget to mention when I do that. 
    • Day 5: more drills for the arms.
    • Walking up 10, is an eye opening experience, you don’t really get the feel of that elevation on TV. I was pretty tired walking up it.
