Ryder Cup points be damned, I think there are a lot of fake good golfers in front of Keegan right now.

I like the pick of Bhatia that someone mentioned. Very young and talented player. He’s going to be a fixture for the USA Ryder Cup team for the next 15 years. Might as well get him acclimated now.

Novak has to be in there IMO. Those top 8 are pretty nasty.

With Aberg's form in the crapper, Hovland not being supernatural like he was in 2023, I like our chances a lot at home.

Rory, Lowry, Rose and Straka are really the only "strong" players on their team right now. No clue what to truly think about Rahm but he will probably be in good form by then.

I’d replace English with Glover, Bradley should pick himself over Bhatia.

English won the Farmers and just finished T2 at the PGA. He's above tour average in all the SG fields and 29 spots ahead of Glover in DG rankings. Also, this isn't a situation where you take Glover for experience. English has him in Ryder Cup experience, too.

I wouldn’t be taking Glover for experience, I’d be taking him more mental toughness and how his game complements others. Glover is 6th on tour in driving accuracy, English is 60th, 10% less getting it in the fairway. I’ll take 10 yards less off the tee for an extra fairway every round.

Where do Americans get in trouble constantly in points? Foursomes. You’re not playing stroke play, putting the ball in the fairway puts pressure on the other team.

McNealy and Harman have to go.

Cantlay is in. And I like Berger - he’s a dog.

Hard to leave Sam off if he continues to play well. He and Shef pairing alone is reason enough. Spaun is my new fav guy.

That would probably be the 5 outside of the guaranteed spots that I'd go with as it stands now. 100% locking in Griffin and Novak. Torn on who my 12th would be.

I think Keegan said he wasn't going to pick himself though right?

Said he wouldn’t, but he should.

Yea I'd like to see him play. But if he stays where he's at now at the 17th(ish) position I can see him easily justifying leaving himself off.

23
Wyndham Clark

He’s 23 yrs old, has a great swing, already near top 30 in the world and seems to be getting better and better.
