Ryder Cup

[Guest]

I followed Verplank/Leonard off and on all 4 days at the Presidents Cup.

Verplank is a grinder in the truest sense. He's not going to blow anyone out, but he never lets up. You know if you get loose on a shot he's probably going to take the hole.

He's not a bulldog... he's a pitbull.

They were the best team at the Presidents Cup, even better than DiMarco?Mickelson. That's why Nicklaus put them against Goosen/Scott who were unstoppable.

Verplank and Leonard were perfect partners for alternate shot. Who do you think TL might pair him with?

Zach Johnson might make a good partner. Not real long, but straight off the tee, and Verplank won't hesitate to coach him along.

I like the Cink pick too.

OK- prediction time.

I'm going to say the U.S. rallies behind Lehman who has been an emotional leader for a while on the PGA Tour, always someone the players look up to and a spiritually charging individual. He led the memorial for Darren Clarke's wife and a few years back Payne Stewart so the players are used to him being in a position like this.

U.S. dominates all the way around, will reclaim the cup.

Does anyone know when the European captain's picks are due?

I believe they make the picks after this week's European tournament, the BMW International or something like that.

Most people think Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood are locks, but I'm not sure about that. I'd be picking Ian Poulter in a heartbeat. Poulter has had a solid year, and he has played well lately.

youre dreaming shags. The U.S will get a painful whipping.

Man that's a tough call, I think Westwood is a great pick for them. Clarke should be on the team, he deserves to be but will he be ready to play? Will Woosnam pick him for sympathy reasons? I agree though Poulter would be my pick for sure if I had to decide. I don't mind all 3 of them and would like them all to be there, too bad only 2 of them at best will be picked.
