Re: 2018 Ryder Cup watch

I saw on Golf Channel who the 'favorites' are:

Tiger
Phil
Dechambeaux
Finau
Kuchar
Kisnar
Xander

But the last 3 haven't been there the most recent tournaments as have Phil, Tiger, Dechambeaux and Finau…. I wonder who gets to wait till next week?... surely Dechambeaux is a lock, and Finau has been phenominal….do you make one of the 'old guys' (Tiger?) wait it out, or Finau?

Really? Phil should be the last Ryder Cup pick? And how do you justify picking Tiger over Phil? Based on what playing criteria?

PHIL is in and is well deserving of it.

Chamblee was getting on Phils case about sitting him in foursomes since he is a poor driver.. It's all about who makes putts and Phil being number 2 in sgp behind Day is the best putter on either team.
I do think Phil may have figured out the driver after having a good 2 final rounds last week. Just hope it lasts . Smile

But makeable putts only come from being able to get in close....and you can't do that from the rough. I'm hearing that this course in France is very tight and the rough is so deep, they're saying you could possibly 'lose balls' out in the open rough unless there are spotters watching. Making me worry about Phil.
