An optimist could also look at the pairings and say the first match should be a walkover for the USA, the second match could be a slugfest 2 on 1 with Rahm isolated, the third match could bury Rory if he can't best English/Finau and the fourth match provides the opportunity for JT to play himself back into form against a beatable pairing.
I assume he rested Koepka and Morikawa (fine), benched Berger (fine) and chose JT over Spieth (stupid).
Splitting Xander and Cantlay is idiotic. Why not just pair DJ and JT? Also worried that Rory will get his mojo back against English/Finau.
Xander/Cantlay obviously need to go straight back out. DJ and Spieth also need to play again this afternoon. The question is whether Koepka and/or Morikawa can go again. My guess is that Stricker rests them. Berger and JT should sit which means 2-4 of the rest (Scheffler, English, Finau and Bryson) will play.
It always amazes me when networks persist with universally loathed commentators like Faldo. Surely, Phil can just walk into that booth and tell Faldo to fuck off back across the pond whenever he pleases.
