Decision night for Ryder Cup captain Pavin

[Tiger Spuds]

Rickie was a very good pick.

Cink was not..

[mcfc_nick]

gotta say im glad youve picked cink because i dont believe him to be a good pick

im surprised that pavin picked fowler but im glad he did and i think he'll do well

-Cink (and his 4-7-4 record)
+Holmes

That would have been my team.

Fowler with

I love this pick, the kid has a game and swagger...match play is different animal and the kid has a sh!tload of the intangible "it" factor.

[Chilli Dipper]

-Cink (and his 4-7-4 record)

Agreed. I have no issue with taking Fowler as the wild card (any under-30 power stroker would have sufficed), but Holmes has a better arsenal for team play than Cink, not to mention he's having a much better season.

I really like the Fowler pick and he does have 2 Walker Cups (with good results) under his belt so he does have some understanding of the way these matches will be played. This kid is, IMHO, the real deal.

-Cink (and his 4-7-4 record)

I don't think their records in past Ryder Cups weighed as heavily as their demeanor.

Pavin's old school.

I guess you all have seen enough of Fowler to give him the nod. I hope he does well.

if he's the real deal wouldn't he have won something?

I'm not putting a single cent down for Fowler.

I would've put in Watney or O'Hair over Fowler. As for Cink, he was one of my picks but at this point, he would be on the fence with any other players up in the top 20.

Dude, this is his first real year on tour and he has 4 Top-5s....it is going to happen (and soon), but come on...this is the Fukkin PGA Tour...it is NOT EASY to win, no matter how good you are.

[MSDOGS1976]

I don't understand the love fest the media has had with Fowler. He's an up an coming good young golfer, but I would have gone with someone with a little more experience this time around. But, that's just my opinion. ;)

[JWL1957]

Americans love a shiny package with all the pretty bells and whistles regardless of what is actually inside of it. Thats how we got Obama (LOL).................. lets see what Ricky can do. I really hope he makes me wrong.

Interesting picks.

Tiger was, really, a no-brainer. All he had to do was show some semblance of form and he was in. He has, he is.
Z Johnson - being sneaking up, building momentum and looking a better, more complete golfer even than when he won the Masters.
R Fowler - not that brave a decision, imho. He has a lot of fuss and hoopla around him so he will have at least a bit of preparation for what will happen at Celtic Manor. Walker Cup - good record on strong teams. McIlroy has a very good record, on less strong teams. Opportunity for mano a mano!
Cink - Popular in the UK so might not get as much stick as others. Given his strong legacy and current form, could be an ideal match for Harrington...
