Woods, Mickelson, DeChambeau selected to U.S. Ryder Cup team.

 

Quote

Woods will no longer be a vice captain, though Furyk said he would continue to lean on his advice. Woods was an assistant at Hazeltine and at the Presidents Cup last fall at Liberty National in a U.S. route.
 

Furyk picked former world No. 1 David Duval to replace Woods. Furyk also said Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar would fill out his lineup of vice captains, joining Davis Love III and Steve Stricker.

No surprises there.

Sounds like US are happy .. so are we Euro's .. we're looking forward to Woods keeping to his normal Ryder Cup 4 ball form. Gives us a far better chance 😁

Once again, his form has generally been fine.

Be careful what you wish for.

Strokes Gained Rankings

Europe: 3rd, 8th, 9th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 42nd

USA: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 24th, 30th, 39th

I suspect the European team will pick - Paul Casey, Henrik Stenson, and Ian Poulter .That would add a 20th, 23rd and 30th ranked to the list above.

Just in terms of strokes gained, I would give the edge to USA this year.

Honestly don't know how you can defend taking Sergio with his recent form. Who knows, though. A motivated Sergio might show up and magically be on form and lay waste to the US team. But I feel like RCB deserved a pick over Sergio.

Terrible picks from Byorn, he's just playing it safe with the older players. So disappointing.

FWIW the picks were:

  • Paul Casey
  • Sergio Garcia
  • Ian Poulter
  • Henrik Stenson

Half of them are in pretty poor form right now and/or fighting injury.

Edge: US.

Casey and Henrik are good picks.  The other two - well, the Ryder is really just a crap shoot on who's playing hot that week anyway - Sergio and Ian could go big either way.  Seems like legacy picks to me.

Really? I don't know about that.

T69, T20, MC, T39, T35 in his last five events, and fighting an injury last I heard.

You got me....I just like him when he's playing good.  The Open a couple years ago turned me into a fan.

I'm a fan of Andy Van Slyke. Doesn't mean he's should play center field for the Pirates any time soon. 🙂

He and Sergio have been suffering lately.

Stenson, Casey an Poulter are good picks imho. Ok Henrik is fighting injury, thats a risk. The pick of Garcia is really bad. 7 missed cuts on his last 12 events. The guy is just not playing well enough. Praying he is not going to do a Westwoody.

So the teams right now:

USA:

  1. Patrick Reed
  2. Brooks Koepka
  3. Dustin Johnson
  4. Justin Thomas
  5. Jordan Speith
  6. Rickie Fowler
  7. Bubba Watson
  8. Webb Simpson
  9. Tiger
  10. Phil
  11. Bryson DeChambeau
  12. TDB

Europe:

  1. Tommy Fleetwood
  2. Alex Noren
  3. Ty Hatton
  4. Rory McIlroy
  5. Francesco Molinari
  6. Jon Rahm
  7. Thorbjorn Olessen
  8. Justin Rose
  9. Paul Casey
  10. Ian Poulter
  11. Sergio
  12. Henrik Stenson

USA team looks stronger, especially when you get past the top 4-ish guys on each team. If this were in the USA, I would be predicting a fairly big USA win. In Europe, it's going to be close. I would give the edge to the US, but this is a pretty good European team still. It's probably going to come down to how the rookies fair and whether an out of form player like Sergio or Bubba shows up.

Dammit .... if Woods is fourballed up against García or Poulter then he's got a decent chance.. BAD choices Björn 😥😥

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
