Current European team based on qualifying system so far, prior to WGC this weekend, where all the top players are playing

 

4 from top World points list

West.wood

McIlroy

McDowell

Donald

 

next best 5 from Euro points list

Poulter

Fisher

Kaymer

F Molinari

Jimenez

 

Plus 3 captains picks from those not yet qualified -

Rose

Garcia

Harrington

Casey

Ross Fisher

A Quiroz

R McGowan

H Stenson

just to name a few.

 

 

To me, I reckon Garcia will miss out. ( as it stands today)

and Monty will pick Rose, Casey and Harrington

 

Anyway, the US team looks weak with about 5 rookies in it, so whoever Monty picks the team should be too strong.

Talk in the papers today that Langer may get a call.

 

I tell you what, thats not a bad shout.

 

Playing really well at the moment, tons of experience.

 

Although it may depend on Rose doing well in the PGA or Bridgestone and getting an automatic slot. Can't see him leaving one of Rose Harrington or Casey out.

 

The bad news of course is that it looks likely that Tiger won't get in the Yanks so that will make them stronger in this format of the game

Harrington has finished well at Akron. I think, because it's a WGC event it gives him Euro points. He may not need a captains pick.

 

Difficult task for Monty, but Garcia wouldn't be high on my list for a wildcard.

 

Harrington is not far behind JImenez in the euro points now.

 

If he gets a decent place at this weeks USPGA he could well move into auto selection.

 

 

Another thing to take into consideration now is W******ds injury. he may not be fit enough to play. So that frees up another place.

Donald has slipped out, Casey has slipped in, buy casey is not playing any more points events so is likely to be knocked out again.

Still think Montie has to have Casey in the team and the idea of having Langer in there (which I like - the oldies have shown they still have something to offer) leaves one slot spare

 

Rose or Donald or Wilson or Harrington. Alvaro Quiros, Rhys Davies (one of the best putters on the cicuit) Robert Karlsson coming back into form... Hmmm

Heck Darren Clarke has remembered how to putt and is getting it back together. What a fighter for the cause he has been and if he's getting it together...

 

No wonder Monty's so screwed up (oops)

 

The American team will have a lot of exciting kids or Rookies in there - I like Watson and think Dustin Johnston will take a lot away from the sand of last night, BUT pressue needs experience

Harrington, Donald & Edoardo Molinari

 

Have to agree with Molinari he was magnificent this afternoon when he had to win. He's won twice this season and paired with his brother will be a force to reckon with

 

Donald - agree great comeback season and good performance in Spain & at Celtic Manor

 

Not sure I would have gone with Harrington though. Yes he won 3 majors but hasn't sparked since then. Casey is the gutsy fighter and Rose has the form at the moment.

 

Anyway will be fantastic to watch

a bit confused on how the world number 9 , Casey, doesn't get in the squad as part of the world points list auto choices.

 

he was about 5th or 6th on that list, westy, kaymer, mcdowell were above him due to their wins or finishes in the majors, which have higher points values. he was also only one spot out on the euro points list. bottom line is, if he had bothered to come over for either the czech open or gleneagles and made the cut, he would have secured his place by right

Phew, had been awfully quiet on the Lee W******d front. Seems he will be ready, but will he be rusty?

 

In other news, The marshalls in Dubai are very excited by the news that Michelle Wie is coming down to the Ladies Masters in December, now (thanks to Tiger) that we know what touring Golf Superstars really want we are very motivated and up for this event....
