I suppose that was the motivation for picking Westwood & Kaymer, i.e. just to compensate with a bit of Ryder Cup experience (well, that and Westwood being his mate). I agree that Knox and one of your other two might well have been better, or maybe Casey after his run in the FedEx playoffs (if he'd actually been eligible for selection). electrichalibuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365477143816746297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388979.post-28247906364670077152016-10-06T20:45:37.486+01:002016-10-06T20:45:37.486+01:00I'd not say too many rookies.

Both of them would've been rookies and I think both might've performed better than Kaymer or Westwood or even Rose?The black rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321485116262834445noreply@blogger.com
