Stu1961 I would like to see Sam Burns if Koepka can’t go.

If Koepka can’t go, does DeChambeau put out about it?

      Burns' length would seem to be a good fit for that course.

      When it comes to the Brooks/Bryson feud ... my impression is that it will continue for however long Brooks wants it to. If Brooks doesn't play - there's no way Bryson won't be asked about it by the media, and my guess, is that he'll say something pre-scripted about wanting to have the best players on the team to give the US the best chance to win.

        Someone's not a Reed fan and seems to be trying way too hard to strike up controversy? It sounds like Reed, or possibly/more likely, whoever runs his Twitter account, was just thanking fans who were supportive of Reed as a selection. One of the posts liked by "Reed" that Harig lists in his ESPN column was "Patrick Reed - American badass". How was that either "aimed at Stricker" or "disparaging" to him? The most "disparaging" listed were one saying "probably not a good decision by the captain" and one thanking Stricker for "giving the European team a life line" by not picking Reed. Scathing! Reed has far from the most likeable personality - and certainly has some history/baggage with controversies - but, to me, Harig is the one here that comes off looking like the douche.

          I think it was a mistake not picking Reed, he might have been the perfect guy to pair with
          Bryson....2 controversial "villains" would've been fun to watch! IMO

          The European Ryder Cup team will be finalised in the next couple of hours - the 9 players below are confirmed on the team after the BMW PGA, 3 picks to be named at 7:30pm UK time (with Garcia and Poulter very likely to be on the team).

          Jon Rahm
          Tommy Fleetwood
          Tyrell Hatton
          Bernd Wiesberger
          Rory McIlroy
          Victor Hovland
          Paul Casey
          Matt Fitzpatrick
          Lee Westwood

          To the surprise of absolutely NO ONE, Harrington picked Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia, and Shane Lowrey, so the
          teams are set. If I were Stricker, I would have concentrated on "who can sink a putt when he needs to?!!" b/c
          that's where we seem to continually fail when we play the Euros in either Ryder Cups or Solheim Cups. They
          make 'em....we don't. How many putts did Leona McGuire & Company make at Inverness when they needed
          to last week vs. the US girls...???

          azgreg. it definitely won't go that way, but I'd favor the US in every one of those matches except the last one
