should be tremendous theatre. When's the last time the US dressed such a deep team? They haven't won on European soil in 25 yrs and are -165 to retain the Cup.
Woods and DeChambeau are a good bet as a pairing for both four balls and foursomes. Bryson can lose it at times, think Tiger is the perfect partner for him. They are friends and appear comfortable with each other. Also they play the same ball, Bridgestone. Spieth and Reed, why break up success? Nutrition and physical fitness are not high on the priority ladder for Mickelson, he looks tired. Finished dead last at the Tour Championship and looked horrible. Can't play him in foursomes, that would be balsy. Maybe start him Friday morning in four balls and if he shits the bed give him Saturday off. ........like the Finau pick. He averages just over 4 birdies a round , an asset in four balls.
Woods/Dechambeau
Spieth/Reed
Johnson/Koepka
Fowler/ Thomas
Europe knows the US team is loaded with bombers off the tee; i'd imagine the fairways will be pinched and Le Golf National is a shot makers course. Both of these may nullify the US advantage off the tee, or rather dampen it. Gotta love Bjorn's captain picks. He needed veteran, experienced leadership and the 4 picks will provide that; Stenson, Garcia, Poulter, Casey. Rock solid team. They have rookies but i'd be surprised if Rahm, Fleetwood and Noren lay an egg. All 3 are exceptional ball strikers, have swings less likely to cave under pressure (they all play a certain ball flight taking away one side of the course) .....Europe can fire these pairings;
Rahm/Garcia
Rose/Stenson
McIlroy/Poulter
Molinari/Fleetwood
