After the surprising JT pick I would have said yes. But idk who half the EU team is. I think we might take this one.
Great job by Donald. The young players are in top form. Lowry has the experience. The last 6 for the European team compares well with the last 6 for the US. When is the last time anyone could say that with a straight face. All things considered Europe +150 is a good bet.
Lavs moment in the sun speculating on Aberg, The White Tiger, 5 months ago. Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. 22 year old world class players have so much more experience than their predecessors. Two of them on team Europe.
This is a competition and if you want to win you pick the hottest players, create a good team atmosphere and inspire them. JT, Fowler, and Speith will not perform well, write it down
Europe always putts well in the Ryder Cup especially at home and you need that to win. JT has a lot of pressure and it's unknown how he does. I'm a huge Spieth fan but he hasn't played well recently. Leaving Glover could end up being a mistake with how well he's putting. We shall see.
Go lions and good job Luke on the picks
Most think the script was written and Lav just got a preview of it.
Am I the only one who thinks JT was a good pick, but Rickie shouldn't be on the team? Fowler had a great season, but he doesn't win in match play!
I'm surprised that no one has noted that Ludvig Aberg is the player with the shortest path to make a Ryder Cup team, right from turning professional. This is, in history. Not even Tiger Woods accomplished the same feat.
i'm not saying who i'm favoring for the cup. but i will say that i bought it at +250, not even 5 months ago. Europe has so many hot putters right now (except perhaps Rory, Rahm), and the US has almost none. this doesn't look close.
Unless they change the format to a hot dog eating contest, the answer is NO. USA is -138
Åberg is an animal he’s not human like us. So you can’t apply logical thinking on him.
He does the opposite of us. When you arrive to the club he leaves. When you think he’s not. When you eat he’s…
Total robot.
USA will win easily though.
Shocking that Meronk was snubbed….I guess he'll be signing up with LIV real soon..
My prediction is America's team is not good enough to win. Bad selection.
Tron from No Laying Up called Aberg on this team back at Whistling Straits lol.
Shame on Donald for not picking big Meronk.
Team US are underdogs they haven’t won for 30 years I can’t see anything changing . Europe will win maybe not as convincingly as 2 years ago 16-12 . I think US will just rock up like they did Paris 2018. Personally they should have all turned up months ago to play a few practice rounds. But no they’ll turn up Monday-Tuesday of Ryder cup week. You’d think they would change something after not winning in 30 years but I don’t think they want it that bad.
