Why did Zach Johnson pick Justin Thomas? Is it really a Boys Club?

Thomas was one of the vocal supporters, anti-LIV guys so this was probably a loyalty repayment. I hope he plays well as I dont like losing the Ryder Cup. If he is off form during the week he might only play 2 matches at most.
Is it true those two guys aren't that well liked though? This is not normal tournament golf I don't think – otherwise it would be all automatic qualifications… He needs the team dynamics to be absolutely welded tight..
Rory, Rahm, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood, Lowry, Rose, Hatton, MacIntyre, Meronk, Straka, Noren/Paul. Sooooo where exactly is the weakness in the European team? Because i cant see one
I figure the PGA Tour is a product and they’re selling interest in the event. More people probably will tune in to watch JT play with those guys than to watch Keegan read each putt for 3 minutes.
You are spot on with this take brother!
JT sucks Tiger D …..
Mr Short game. The Ryder cup is a exhibition.
The PGA Tour didn’t leave him off the team. Zack Johnson did.
I’m in total agreement with your opinion But that last comment about joining Liv was crazy.
What better way to be forgotten than to leave and join Liv.
Watch Peter Finch round yesterday in Rome, rough is literally chest high, Speiths driving and JT's ..well everything..they wont win a point between the both of them. Xander and Cantlay are very strong, maybe best overall pairing. Burns was picked to bail out Schefflers putting, understandable, i expect Harman to do very well, Rome will suit him. Fowlers form is solid, not spectacular but his Ryder cup record is terrible, Brooks is an animal but who do you pair him with so as not to drag him down? Wyndam is good cant knock the guy at all but its Ryder cup. Morikowa great iron player but this is not a second shot course, this is a driving accuracy and short game course. Homa is no prom King, hes a good alrounder but hes no Ryder cup sensation at all. If i look at the course the picks should have been Keegan, Byrson and especially Reed. Reed was built for this course
JT better rack up at least 3.5 points.
Would love to know what "analytics" other than the "buddies" analytic had JT as better than Cam or Keegan.
so why is there a "Captain Pick"? if the Capt should ONLY pick the top players. why have a capt at all. The Captain should get to pick for a team dynamic that he wants… good or bad
I could see a guy like Keegan on LIV. Never cared for him but he did have a huge season. I hope Norman gives him a call.
Bryson played great with Scheffler in the President’s cup. You can probably say that pairing started Scotty’s rise to stardom. Good mentoring Bryson. He would have been great in Rome. Snubbed like John Daly in his day.
Why are any of these ryder cup picks not decided by ranking
Zach's reasoning is hypocritical. He said he picked JT because of analytics, which is ridiculous. Analytics from 2022? Then he likely didn't pick Cam Young because he's a bomber off the tee and the course requires off the tee accuracy. Bottom line is JT didn't earn it; Keegan and Cam did. They should be rewarded. I watched Peter Finch video and putting will be incredibly important. Not having Keegan or Glover there is crazy. As to LIV, Zach's in bed with Monahan clan of Couples, Furyk, Stricker, Woods, etc. They hate LIV.
Florida guys playing Florida guys ???
Fowler also ???
Play the top 12 both USA and Europe ! No captain picks !! USA has not won in Europe in the last 30 years ? Is that true ?
Lucky for Zach and JT especially is they'll be in Italy and not on U.S. soil. If in U.S. and JT played poorly you can bet U.S. crowd would be heckling JT and that wouldn't be good.
I’m from England and to be fair you seem to be writing off the European side a little too easily. Rory, Rahm fleetwood, Hovland Hatton,Fitzpatrick have all performed extremely well in the pga this year. Plus I don’t think you have got to see much of the DP world tour either. There are some good players out there. Home advantage too. I think it’s a little more even matched than you seem to think .
I agree all the way. The last 3 minutes you close like Seabiscuit and make your case. If I am on a jury I am just nodding my head.
Spot on! Healthy BDC has to be on the team. JT is a travesty, Burns not much better.
The captain is either pressured by politics and is weak minded or he is part of the sham.
Tiger woods the grratest golfer of all time had an average Ryder cup record at best. People need to realize this is not individual stroke play where golfers try to put 4 rounds in a row together.over a weekend. This is a match play team event where foursomes and Fourball are played.
Keegan and Glover are not great match play golfers and they don't fit well with the team atmosphere.
JT was the right pick, the only pick that could be argued would be Colin morikawa or same burns for Byrson Dechambeau.
