GB13 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Good “safe” picks, personally I’d have liked to see Conners over Day but, Day does have the experience for some younger/first time players. Either way, there were five players who really deserved a spot. Tiger’s picks should be interesting tomorrow, as you could make a case for about 10 guys.

Kenny B Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I think Day is a good pick, and I expect him to play well. I would have liked Corey Conners over Joaquìn Niemann; I think he has been more consistent this year and playing well of late. This could be a really close match this year... for a change. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Fowler or Reed can produce great golf, but if one of them has an off week, you want Fowler in the locker room over Reed.

FrogginBullfish Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Tiger has a good relationship with Reed as well though. I don't see Kisner getting picked. I think we might see Phil added as an assistant captain though, with Tiger likely being a playing captain. We'll find out at 7pm EST.

FrogginBullfish Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Reed has played well recently and despite underperforming, which could be said for the entire US team at last year's Ryder Cup, he is a really solid match play player.

Quigleyd Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Although Tiger has never been a huge help in any of these team events, this is the perfect event for Tiger to Pick himself. I mean he has to right?? The US team almost universally wins this event. If it was the Ryder Cup it would be a different story. Way more pressure, way more at stake at the Ryder Cup. I am not a fan of Reed, I think he is a cancer and probably the most hated PGA pro by both fans and other tour players. That being said, you cannot pick Fowler who has almost been non existent since about mid year. If the international team somehow wins this, That could be really bad.

Kenny B Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The International Team won at Royal Melbourne in 1998, so that could be a motivator. The internationals have a pretty good team and if the USA plays as crappy as they did in the Ryder Cup, the internationals could win. I'm sure they are going into the match with a "what have we got to lose" attitude. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
