Ryder Cup pathos...The USA is hurting!

Well, the good news is that Captain America (Chris DiMarco) moved up to sixth, ejecting Lucas Glover from automatic qualification. Jim Furyk strengthened his hold on third place. Sadly, Vaughn Taylor, Brett Wetterich and J.J. Henry still hold onto automatic q-places. Which one do you think Tiger will pick as his partner? The more I think about it, how bad can it get if those three rooks make the team? Toss them out as chum against Westwood and Montgomerie in alternate shot. What’s the worst they can do, lose? That places them in the same category as Eldrick and Phillip. At least they’ll get some experience before Sunday’s singles. My only pleas for Major Tom are: don’t pick Daly or Davis. I like Verplank as one captain’s pick, but have no idea who number two should be. For some reason, Pernice, Quigley, Oberholser, and Herron don’t ignite passion in my heart.

Chris DiMarco is a terrific golfer. I'm glad to see he made the Ryder Cup.

My prediction is that Montgomerie and Westwood will choke against the pressure of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Team USA.

If Els decides to show up, he better bring his A-game!

Els is South African. He doesn't play in the Ryder Cup.

Oberholser might not be bad--he's got quite a game. Love would be a terrible pick--playing like a dog this year. I dunno about Daly. I've always been fond of wild cards...

Daly's problem is he doesn't know how he's going to feel that day. I'm not a risktaker when it comes to gambling on the Ryder Cup.

And, I better do a little more reading about the Cup. Didn't know Els wasn't in it. I'm more of an LPGA follower so the Solheim Cup is in my veins.
