Phil has played 20 tournaments this year (not season). Here they are split up into his first ten and last ten:

1st 10
MC
T45
T5
T2
T6
1
T17
T24
T36
T5



2nd 10
MC
T12
T13
T48
T65
MC
T24
T24
MC
T15



Look, I’m fine with Phil making the team, and I think he’s incredibly motivated at the moment, but to act like he’s in the best form out of the potential picks is not correct.

Goodness...

It's obviously not that clear.

Phil has been saving himself a ton with the putter this year, I'll give you that. And that's a big deal in these events.

I’d lick Kisners putter over Phil considering we already have Bubba. This is why proof reading is always important.

OK? Doesn't change where he fell in the standing nor his birdies rank.

Putting isn't all that matters. Like others have pointed out, recent results aren't very favorable. He did lots of his damage early on. So season long stats certainly don't paint the entire picture. Why do I have to explain that?

OK? None of that negates the reason for his inclusion. Especially recent results. Phil has come out of nowhere to win before. Not that wins are all that important to this.

I didn't say it did. I'm just laughing at you for calling it "100%" and "clear" and calling anyone who disagrees an idiot. What's clear is that other than Tiger, the other 3 spots are completely debatable.

Bryson, Finau, Phil, Kisner are in the mix. Phil is most likely in especially since he's the only one with experience among those 4. So you are likely right that he will be included. But laughing off anyone who disagrees. Okay, man.

You're talking in circles.

Kisner and Finau and pair them together. Tiger to pair with JT. Kooch or Xander to pair with Rickie

Then

Brooks / Dustin
Jordan / PReed
Bubba / Webb

Tiger-Reed
Spieth-JT
Phil-Bryson
Koepka-DJ
Bubba-Webb
Rickie-Finau

Could see Reed and Tiger feeding off each other in a good way. I think Phil is the only guy on tour that "gets" Bryson. Rick and Finau would be fun to watch in fourball. Spieth and JT could be more dangerous than Spieth and Reed.

Bryson and Tiger have played a ton of practice rounds. They’re 100% a pairing
