Mr Burns is in fact the best g’damn putter on the planet
Golf-Guns
I wonder if we take into consideration how players perform at different courses. Bethpage is pretty unique and we should be able to capitalize on it

Burns 100% deserves the spot. One of the best putters on Tour and he’s in great form across the board. Great match play record too. My big concern is Keegan picking himself over either Ben Griffin or Cam Young
biggiebills
Great putter
Howaboutacantaloupe
Meh I don’t like the pick. But I think this means he’s going to go with mostly experienced guys like himself, Morikawa, Thomas, and Cantlay. I also think Ben Griffin has earned his right to make the team. Has played big at big tournaments.
SomeInterwebsDude
Lame. He’s currently ranked 16th in standings, and has a Ryder cup record of 1-2-0, and a Presidents cup record of 2-3-0.
I’d rather see Gotterup or Bhatia. Anyone other than Burns!

Europe gonna roll

I am not surprised if true.

Burns is in, I know these things.
allthingsirrelevant
I think he should bring Gotterup. Good experience for the longer term and he is playing well recently. Europe did that with Bobby Mac last time and it worked well

Why do so many people get butt hurt over what are mostly subjective decisions?
You think he doesn’t deserve it but the captain does and it’s his team to pick.

I am whelmed by this decision

Burns with the Christian privilege lol

The Sherriff will have his deputy.

He’s #8 or 9 on datagolf rankings. I like it. He’s a match play specialist as well. And now #1 overall putter on tour.

If Keegan doesn’t pick himself I’m rooting for team Europe.

Captain picks are going to be:
Keegan Sam burns JT Morikawa Cantlay 🧢 Cam young
Fantastic_Owl3658
I’m not sure what plus he brings…the greens at Bethpage aren’t crazy and the focus for success is accurate driving and great on approach. He’s pretty poor on tour average for approach to green so I’m underwhelmed by the choice.

Guy putts so well all the time. He’s played great down the stretch. One of the best pics you can make playing a US Open track in a match play event. Dude will be so frustrating to play. He’s not going to give away holes and his opponent will have to play really good golf to beat him.

I swear to all that is holy, if Keegan puts himself on the team ahead of Griffin or Young, he is unworthy of being captain

If you think this is anything other than an earned captain’s pick, it’s clear you don’t watch much golf.

I like Scotty paired with Henley. They were at great team at the President’s Cup.

Burns should be on the team. Along with JT, Keegan, Cantlay, Griffin, and McNealy. Morikawa hasn’t been impressive at all this year. Also why is everyone against Cantlay? I swear golf fans are so mf soft. Who tf cares about “pace of play” or “not fun to watch” or the hat thing. He literally just finished second at the tour championship and has one of the best Ryder cup records. This isn’t a popularity contest, how bout the US just win a damn Ryder Cup for once.
themiddleshoe
If Burns is getting the nod, then so is Cantlay.
JT, Collin, Burns, and Cantlay.
Pick 2 from KB, Young, Griffin, and Maverick.
CaptainBaroo
Cool. Now pick Cam Young.
Life-You5073
Is it “bring your friend to work” day at the Ryder Cup?
In all seriousness, I’m fine with this as long as Griffin and Young are also on the team
Spaun/Burns (sick, sick putting) Thomas/Bradley (lord help us all) English/???
So maybe the last pick pairs with English?? Not going to happen (and I get it!!), but I would be most interested in McNealy with English. English is so solid. Perfect spot for a younger player.

Who? Hope they saved room for some of Bryson’s guys.

Is the source in the room with us right now?
I just hoped they don’t get as smoked by the Euros as much they did last year.
It’s a lot more than “Scottie’s boy” on the team. He’s been one of the 6 best Americans over the last 3 months.
Griffin’s gonna get jobbed
I went to kindergarten with Sources Familiar
Hard not to pick the best putter on tour and best mate of USAs #1 guy
Got to keep Scottie happy, and he’s probably better than most of the 7-20 ranked players.
I think Burns being in means Griffin is out.
JT, Morikawa, Keegan, Cantlay, Burns, Young

Solid pick. The man can putt…
What about possible pairings?
Cantlay/Schauffele (obviously)
Scheffler/Henley (prevailing sentiment)
DeChambeau/Young (same equipment)
Spaun/Burns (sick, sick putting)
Thomas/Bradley (lord help us all)
English/???
