Bryson wouldn’t have been a great pick, but he would have been a far better pick than DJ and Reed

Interesting you want to talk about prior Ryder cups but you absolutely can’t shut up about how awful the “buddy pick” JT is

Also, for your reference, DJ was 1-4 in the last European Ryder cup

No he wouldn’t. You rather obviously haven’t looked at the course design. It’s designed to punish long hitters and while he can hit it long DJ has repeatedly proven he can gear down and that butter fade of his would work well on that course.

You take Reed because he’s a competitor. This team needs something to kick it in the arse. It’s captain sure isn’t

Reed and DJ were 2-6-1 in the last euro Ryder cup. They also aren’t playing great golf at all right now. Not to mention Reed wasn’t taken in the 2021 Ryder cup either

They weren’t even a thought in anyone’s mind that’s at all rational

When are you going to learn.

I’ll give you an example from today.

Morikawa and Fowler had 5 birdies. Why did they lose? Because they had 6 bogies. When their opponents got into trouble instead of playing them they tried to play the course and lost or tied holes they could easily have won.

What is your goal? It’s not to shoot 58, it’s to be 1 shot better than the other guy.

This team needs Phil. He has the swag. He understands match play. He can pull off shots when needed. He is on form.

I don’t give a shite that he’s not in the buddy group and is LIV.

Thanks for explaining match play

To let you know, the guy who won the Match play tournament this year was on the US team and played like crap in foursomes…..Foursomes is volatile and always has been. You will see some big results for one team or the other at times. It’s back to being very tight right now in fourballs

I wouldn’t take him because he’d be a cancer on the team.

Your points on his ability to play in that environment are accurate though I’d say

Soft arse silver spooned yanks. Needed more renegades from LIV to hang.

I wish there were more commercials. Too much golf IMO.

Amd who would that be? I’m one of the very few who didn’t melt about “the buddy pick JT”

Has he played awful golf this year? Yes, but I didn’t once bitch or melt about him being picked for this event. I’m fact I’ve defended Zach Johnson multiple times
