    I look at the rest of the team squarely on attitude. They all have game. But, who do you want on your side in a barroom brawl. The last guy I want is Cantlay. Just look at his prissy “I don't want to wear a hat unless I’m getting paid” attitude in the Presidents Cup. Ben Griffin began his final round at the BMW 7-6-4. My selections:

    Bradley

    Cam Young 

    Chris Gotterup

    Thomas

    Burns

    Lucas Glover

    I absolutely love the Young and Burns picks as they are both long and fit well at the Black.

    I agree with Gotterup who is very long off the tee and the perfect fit for Bethpage Black which I’ve played many times.  
    Also agree no Morikawa as he has been awful.  Been through multiple caddies and trying to find his game.  The man is a terrible putter and hasn’t done anything in a long time. 
    Don’t agree with Glover who just isnt that good right now but did win the US Open at Bethpage 16 years ago.  If he was in better form I could’ve gotten onboard with him.

    Also disagree as I’d go with Cantlay 

    glad he left Harman off as this course is too long for his game

    Bradley would’ve been a good fit here BUT the distraction and duties of a player captain can’t be ignored

    If this year event was in Europe I’d be betting Europe.  Think their team is in better form.  But it’s in New York and the crowd will be raucous and especially difficult for Europe.

    i bet Europe 2 years ago when home and won.  Home team has a BIG advantage.

    And this year US top players are not in good form (Schauffele and Morikawa) and even JT and Cantlay haven’t been in top form although Cantlay has picked it up last few weeks.

    i live 30 minutes away from Bethpage Black and have played it often.  Need to be long and straight.  Certain guys have advantages and others may struggle.  I think that’s a big reason Harman was not picked.  
    I might’ve picked Gotterup.  Hate the way Morikawa is playing and that isn’t just recently, it’s been the entire year!

    I lean US because it’s in New York and of course Scheffler is by far the best player in the world

    USA played poorly on day 1 of the Ryder Cup and also includes Scheffler and DeChambeau. Sorry to say Morikawa, English and Henley to NOT belong on the team!an_cryan_violin

    Turns out Cantlay was one of the only US players with a heartbeat. IMO, Henley was a bust, as was Morikawa..... Schauffle could've putted better with a shovel......Griffin should've been in one more pairing.....Scheffler got handcuffed by bad partners.

     But bottom line, the US team just got their asses kicked by a great-performing Euro squad, plain & simple.......my hat's off to them. peace_5

    Piss poor performance from the Americans on home soilthumbs_down

     

    Although the crowds were great even though the Americans were getting their shit kicked in, some of the rhetoric was uncalled for...I mean stealing a golf cart and yelling during players backswings and telling a players to fuck off...c'mon now... 

    COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean
