I just read an article that said all but one spot is known for Stickers picks. Can’t wait to find out who makes the team.  Any thoughts on pairings? I know tough since team is not fully formed. Calling the Thomas/Speith pairing. No brainer for Stricker. It is all but set.

Based on what logic? 

All around Harris English is a better golfer than both Horschel and Kisner, and it's not even really that close honestly.

English is the only one out of the 3 who has positive strokes gained in all 3 areas of tee to green this season (strokes gained off the tee, strokes gained, approach, and strokes gained around the green)

English is also ranked higher in strokes gained putting than both of them too.

English hits it further off the tee than both of them too. (299 yds vs 294 for horschel and 289 for kisner)

 

And you're choosing both of them over Xander too?? Xander is better tee to green than English is, and only a slightly worse putter than English, so the gap between Xander and Horschel/Kisner is even bigger than the gap between English and Horschel/Kisner.

Plus Xander averages 307 off the tee, which is further than English, further than Finau and only 1 yd behind Rahm, both of who are pretty widely known for their distance too. 

 

I'm just really struggling to understand what logic and facts lead you to believe Horschel and Kisner would give the US a greater chance of winning than Xander and English.

I think he likes Horschel and Kisner because they have proven themselves as great matchplay players. Horschel reigning WGC matchplay champion and Kisner with a 1st and a 2nd in the last 3 WGC matchplay events. Not choosing the reigning world champion in matchplay for your RC team would be pretty crazy don't you think? Regardless of what the strokes gained stats say.

In the bag: Callaway Mavrik SZ 10,5 driver (X stiff), Cobra King 4 wood (Stiff, 2006 model), Callaway Mavrik irons 4 - P+A (stiff), Cobra King Pur wedges 52, 56 and 60 (stiff) and Odessey white steel putter.  Very happy with the set and the gapping.

When are picks actually made? I've done some searching and it says "less than a week after the Tour championship" and stuff, but when specifically?

I feel like that's some weird state secret or something. 🙂 I only looked for a few minutes, but you'd think that information would be a bit easier to find.

Thank you.

@iacas you are not alone on that. Nowhere did I see when the picks would be made. Must be top secret since we lost the cup the committee must be keeping close to the vest.

I think those are good picks. I wonder what happens if Brooks cannot play because of his wrist injury - who does Stricker go with then?

Olympics likely had some strong bonus points for him.

Highly doubtful. 😄

Seeing as he didn’t go to them.

I'd guess either Reed or Na.  Not sure how bad Brooks' injury is, but I hope he can make a call early enough, one way or the other.

I think Scheffler is someone Stricker will put with Bryson.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
