I was just starting to crack open my mind to Rickie getting hot and stealing a captains pick next weekend. Seems like he's toast now that he won't make east lake tho.

Still a decent shot he makes it
But it's not like he's shooting a 63 today to grab a lot of attention. Gonna be more of a sneak in if it happens

That's true. I thought he was done after that double but looks like he still has a shot to top 30.

Hard no on Fowler. He was gifted special invites to the signature events and thats the only reason he even made the playoffs. His record is also 3-9-5 in 17 matches. He needs to start preparing for an ass captain role, not player.

When I said he still had a shot he was 244 out in the fairway on a par 5….. he made a par
Dead now

Don't want him on the team, just enjoy watching him play. Would love if he got back to what he was, at his peak he was basically our Fleetwood, just doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.

Last two need to be Burns and Young… Harman, Novak, Cantlay just aren't doing it for us this summer

US gets all the **** for being a 'boys club' but Harry Hall has outperformed quite a few members of the Euro team this year, and he wouldn't get picked over Lowry or Fitzpatrick. It's the beauty of having your 13-18 guys be players normal golf fans have never heard of.

Cantlay had been fine outside of the majors. This is just his second finish outside of the top 15 in regular season tour events since the Masters, and he was basically playing for nothing the last 2 days with everything resetting next week.

My final team picks are
Scottie
Bryson
Spaun
Xander
Henley
English
JT
Morikawa
Griffin
McNealy
Cantlay
Young


They'll probably pick Burns over McNealy, but I'm rolling with McNealy.

Team USA is down to the final spot which is among Burns, McNealy, Novak and Bradley.

Can Scottie play every match? The dude is a Beast, and his sister, the Aggie All-American, was, too.

Side note, give me the longest hitters and best putters, that's how I'd roll at Bethpage

Hopefully Aberg isn't rounding into form in time for next month. He's uber talented but was really inconsistent most of this year.

No uniform reveal talk?

Kinda meh from me. Really wish they'd dump RLX.

Our colors are red white and blue, and we need shirts for 3 days. It doesn't seem like it should be this hard to put together some decent looking outfits.

I think it's funny we can't mention Scottie on this board without mentioning Callie being an Aggie

Yes Scottie should play all 5 matches

I'm sure it just goes to the top dollar, but moving away from Ralph Lauren would be nice. Most of those are straight out of a 1995 Ralph Lauren vs Tommy Hilfiger battle. I'm an old and even I haven't worn that **** for years and years

USA Team

could not find the European team outfits as of yet.

American ones are just so so in my opinion. Of the three I like day 2 shirt the best.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Day 2 is definitely the best, but those look awful. Danny is right, it looks like we are back in the 90s. We should definitely try to move on from Ralph Lauren.

I would say the 80's. You can pick up those styles in just about any thrift store near a golf community in the country for $5/each. All cotton!

I think this is the perfect ensemble for that golf fan who also supports the Buffalo Bills.

With a pair of Zubaz pants:



The epitome of New York class.

Good to see Scottie and Henley playing together today (and maybe a few more times this weekend).

On one hand, I don't think "they played well together at the President's Cup" should be a reason to pair Scottie/Henley in foursomes. The Ryder Cup is a different animal and I want Scottie out there with someone who can handle that first match pressure on Friday. Europe will be sending Rory/Fleetwood out first to set the tone, so Scottie needs someone who can thrive in that arena and match Fleetwood on the evens (Rory and Scottie showdown on the odds).

But I do think it's possible Henley is objectively the right guy. Alot will come down to advanced stats about their respective games and the course that I don't have much insight to. But when I think about the possibilities of the guys who can handle that stage with Scottie/Rory/Fleetwood:

JT is the obvious one. No one loves the Ryder Cup stage more than him. If he's playing well, he could be great in that role. But I also think we might need him to carry the odd holes in a different foursomes group (with someone like Griffin).

Spaun has demonstrated the most on big stages this year. I think he could be up for it as a quiet assassin type.

But Henley could excel there too. He's quietly been the second best American player this year.

It doesn't make sense, but would be great TV.
A reunion of the Bryson/Scheffler pairing from Whistling.

That would be fun. I'm all about putting Scottie with the guy who gives him the best chance to win in each format and if Bryson is that in four ball, LFG. Would be electric. I'm not sure the drunk afternoon crowds in NYC could handle it.

I was kinda thinking a fun role for Bryson that would compliment the team is to be our afternoon four ball tone-setter. So he'd sit foursomes each day but lead us off in the afternoon and get the crowds amped. It might be tough to put Scottie with him cuz Scottie might need a little extra time to turn around after his morning match. But I'm not opposed to it.

TBH, if Keegan does pick himself (and I still hope he doesn't), it should he for those two four ball matches with Bryson. THAT would be electric.

Sounds like Keegan hosted a dinner with the 6 auto qualifiers and JT/Morikawa.

Keegan talking about how hard it is for him to focus on playing when all he can think about is pairings and other team related stuff makes it hard to think he should pick himself.

If he chases down Fleetwood tomorrow no way he won't pick himself.

I'll be shocked if Morikawa and Cantlay are left off.
