US Ryder Cup team

Posted on September 12, 2021 by John Pargiter in Blogs, Golf, Life, Sport, What's Hot, World Affairs // 0 Comments

US captain Steve Stricker has picked his team:-

Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Xavier Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, Bryson Dechambeau, Danny Berger, Jordan Spieth, Harris English, Patrick Cantlay.

He has gone for PGA form over Ryder Cup experience as 6 of them are rookies.

Patrick Reed has been eliminated but he has had double pneumonia and I would have chosen Webb Simpson for his experience and geniality.

The European side will be announced on Sunday by Padraig Harrington after the flagship event at Wentworth.

My prediction is:-

Jon Rahm, Victor Novland, Rory Mcilroy, Paul Casey, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrell Hatton, Lee Westwood, Shane Lowry and the 3 captain’s picks – Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.
