I know not necessarily an indicator of success or failure but a guy who was 3-7-1 as a player being Captain seems underwhelming.

Playing well doesn't necessarily make you a good captain, or manager - then again who knows in golf, when the pros have 1 team event every year

Hope it went better for you then it did for me.  What a complete pile of shit this entire Ryder cup ticket lottery turned into.  Lots of folks are pissed at the pga of America for the complete misrepresentation and lack of transparency of the whole process.  I’ll probably get some tickets on the secondary market, but I’m pissed, thought it was a done deal a week ago.  Would love to know the inside story, crooked as shit I’m sure.  Anyone else get screwed today?

I did not try but a buddy of mine got screwed as well. He is not happy to say the least.

glad the PGA of America chose to play the Ryder Cup on a links style course in the U.S.  🙄

i have very little faith we'll win wherever it's played, but i wish they'd try to give us some advantage.

as far as players, i just hope Kevin Kisner gets a spot.  i think he'd be nails in this event.

that was a massive goat rodeo.  you send out codes to people to buy tix but don't make anyone use the codes to get in line to buy tickets, meaning anyone could have as many windows open as they wanted.  i stayed on just to see how long i would be in the waiting room and i finally got through an hour and forty five minutes after they went on sale.  everything was sold out.  i'll watch on tv.

top 6 players automatically qualify for the U.S. team.  right now, those six are:

DJ, Bryson, JT, Brooks, Morikawa, and Xander.

Stricker gets 6 captain's picks.  Spieth is up to No. 11 in points.  he's a slam dunk pick.  P. Reed is No. 7.  should be a lock given his Ryder Cup rep, but what about team chemistry?  i don't think anybody likes him.

Phil just moved up 36 spots to No. 16.  a few more good showings at the U.S. and British Opens, and Phil may fuck around and find himself on the team.

i think Will Zalatoris - who doesn't have full member status on the tour, yet - is gonna be picked.  he's No. 18 in points.  his last three majors:  T6 (U.S. Open); 2 (Masters); T8 (PGA).

i'm hoping Scottie's strong Dell Match Play performance gets him over the hump.  he's No. 15 in points.

If you have the option of not having Reed on the team, you take it.  Nobody wants to spend 5 hours with that prick.  The top guys should get together and tell Stricker to leave him off, similar to what happened with The Dream Team and Isiah Thomas.

Spieth up to #9 now. Got to be the first pick if it happened today.

In the #7  - #12 list, I think you leave Reed at home but other than that, it's a hard argument to make against any of them. Maybe Horschel because you just never know when he's going to self combust but he's been playing great golf lately plus the match play win. Maybe Webb because as of now, he's not playing much golf dealing with the neck injury but by all accounts, he's an amazing teammate with a ton of experience. Finau lacks the killer instinct. I guess? Lot of tough decisions to be made in order for a Zalatoris, Scheffler, or Mickelson to make it in.

Harris English is up 5 spots to #8.  Spieth down to #11.  i just can't see a world where Harris English is taken as a captain's pick, but if he is on a roll, then it may have to happen.

I think if Stricker had to pick today it would be  - Jordan, Patty Reed, Cantlay, Berger, Webb & Scottie, and I'd be happy with that. I also know that I'm wrong because Finau is a likely pick, but they'd better put him out early on Sunday because he isn't going to win that Cup coming in late and having to close it out.

id take lefty over reed and scheffler 

Expand  

I couldn't pick Lefty; after he changed equipment the week of the Ryder Cup - like 2004, that just showed that what he really cares about is money. No telling what he could show up playing this time. Maybe he'll switch to Cobra to get some of those shitty drivers that BDC uses.

Kiz and Harris English have to be given serious consideration. English has been playing really well. Kiz now has this timely win and has a strong match play record.

I don't care if Reed steals everyone's wallet, that dude is on the team.

If he’s not an automatic qualifier you, at the least, have to consider if anyone would actually want to play with him.  Maybe just pair him with Bryson and make the rest of the team happy that they don’t have to play with either of them?

Man, if Adam Scott could putt he would be one of the greatest players of his generation.  As it is, at least he had one major.

Ryder Cup Decisions Should Be About More Than Who’s Hot & Who’s Not

I was listening to a recent No Laying Up podcast and they were saying that the Euros were laughing at our team pairings. The Euros have left us in the dust in the use  of analytics. I hope Stricker and his support staff have embraced it and expanded their toolbox.

Fuck Reed.  If you have the option to leave him off you take it.  Good for team morale.

Expand  

team morale is already in the crapper with the whole Brooks and Bryson circus (assuming that feud is real).  may as well add Reid into the mix.  at least he will win some points.

Morale didn't seem to be an issue 2016 Ryder Cup.  If he is playing well and helping the team win, I don't think morale will be an issue.  Do other tour members like him less now than in 2016?  I don't know.

I think, and judging from your username I think you probably agree, that it is healthy to have a few athletes on your personal hate list.  I fucking hate Patrick Reed.

I think they’ll have to weigh who will want to pair with Reed. Tiger took that on last time, not sure that person exists. Jordan and JT will likely be together again. Bryson and Reed could be lethal cheating together

Prob a good idea for Strick to put those two together.  The Euro team will get too distracted watching over them.
