listen2me 23 1,544 Posted August 29, 2023 I understand his past RC performances. But those were also in years where he was actually good. Not a fan of JT on the team. Totally understand he could play great and make people eat their words. Best finish a 4th in February. 4 majors 3 missed cuts and one t65. Missed 5 of last 8 cuts. Didn't make the playoffs.

I understand guys with a more storied career are going to get leeway. But Beau Hossler may not even be happy with the season JT just had. What we grandfather them in and there are 3 real spots left? What would JT have to do not take make the team? Skip the season? Mind boggling to me. Merit has to factor in some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,544 Posted August 31, 2023 I don't want to root on the Euros. But wild that they are the dogs. Maybe it is just popular USA money. No one wants to bet the Euros. USA hasnt won over there in how long? Turmoil with JT pick and Brooks. And the Americans best player has cooled down and cant make a 6 foot putt. Euros may have the better team anyway.

Seems to have smoothed over but some guys may not appreciate LIV guys getting a captain's pick. Not sure how tight this team is. Of course he deserves it. Did you miss all the drama this past season? 6-5-1 which isn't bad in ryder cup but I don't think Brooks having to rely on another player is his favorite format.

He clearly belongs on the team. when he says turmoil I think he simply means the idea that a LIV player was a captains pick for the RC. With how much controversy still surrounds that, despite all the egg on the face of the PGA tour and that the RC isnt something they can control, it still rubs people the wrong way and could potentially be a distraction. Also, Brooks had previously been on record about not caring about team stuff anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Brooks had previously been on record about not caring about team stuff anyway Yeah pretty much. He belongs and everything seems smoothed over but its nice to have as much chemistry and comradery as you can. Probably won't be any big issue but outside jt rick and speef I would guess the Euro team is tighter. Usual are anyway I suppose. Other than the idea that auto money comes in on team USA out of fandom, I am surprised to see them the favorites when you consider everything. Usually USA has a stronger team. They may still but by my eye it is basically the same. Bobby Mac Fleetwood Fitz and Meronk have all won at this place or finished runner up over last 3 Italian Opens. I believe they were all at this course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
