Ryder Cup plus Prediction Comp
So, the Ryder Cup is upon us once more, this time round in the Yank's backyard at Hazeltine. Really varied teams this time round, the Yanks stuffed with experience, Europe fielding six rookies. Hate to say it but I feel this might be a bridge too far for the Europeans, but I said that before Medinah in 2012 and we all know how that turned out...
Anyway, prediction comp is running for this one. Rules shortly, first the two teams in full. The Americans will be making their final pick in the next few hours so you may want to hold off before choosing your team!
Europe:
Rory McIlroy
Danny Willett
Henrik Stenson
Chris Wood
Sergio García
Rafael Cabrera-Bello
Justin Rose
Andy Sullivan
Matthew Fitzpatrick
Lee Westwood
Martin Kaymer
Thomas Pieters
USA
Dustin Johnson
Jordan Spieth
Phil Mickelson
Patrick Reed
Jimmy Walker
Brooks Koepka
Brandt Snedeker
Zach Johnson
J. B. Holmes
Rickie Fowler
Matt Kuchar
Plus one to come, probably Bubba Watson.
Comp Rules:
Pick 10 players for your team. No more than 7 players from one side, so you can go 7 Europe 3 USA, 6 USA 4 Europe etc.
Pick a CAPTAIN for your side who will score double points throughout.
And pick the final score.
Points are as follows:
Fourballs and foursomes appearance - 2 pts.
Fourballs and foursomes half - 2 pts
Fourballs and foursomes win - 5 pts
Singles half - 5 pts
Singles win - 10 pts
Correct score - 10 pts.
No late entries please, comp closes an hour before the first ball is struck. I have quite a lot going on at the moment so updates may be sporadic, but I will try and get the final scores up ASAP after the conclusion of the tournament.
Good luck everyone, let battle commence!

Just to confirm the USAs final wildcard pick was Ryan Moore, not Bubba Watson.

Re: Ryder Cup plus Prediction Comp
I agree, the Yanks will also draw heavily on the inspiration of Arnie Palmer's passing in the same way Europe came together after Ballesteros' sad death. I would love to be wrong, but I feel they will have the edge this time.SoulCircus wrote:.......

I actually think we are going to lose heavily but I've been wrong in the Ryde cup many times and happily so. I think it will be 17-11 to USA

Shame Poulter is so out of form, he has been a giant in the last few Ryder Cups. I think 6 rookies is going to hurt us.

Re: Ryder Cup plus Prediction Comp
Didn't realise he had been injured, still at least he will be there in a non playing capacity as one of Clarke's vice-captains so we may yet see his fist pumping.
