billyspan Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) I'm not advocating for either of them to be Captain's Picks...but Reed>Koepka in the Ryder Cup. Reed's short, balky driver however, is scary at Bethpage. Edited June 30 by billyspan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 BK has The Open, and that’s it. If he doesn’t do something big, he should be out. There are other big names that need to do something with their remaining chances as well. Get in the top 10/12. It seems like there are 6 Autos, Keegan gets 4, and the media/Netflix complex gets to pick 2 darlings(?) You Euro guys are kind of quiet. What about Rahm? What if he doesn’t play good in The Open? My goodness.

Still one of the best golfers in the world no matter what the OWGR says. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit on one of the lesser-known conflicts that LIV has. They have been fighting with GHIN to have course ratings increased for LIV tournaments so that their players can keep their indexes higher for their club championships. This has been very under reported. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy_Ken Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 He has shown 0 form. At this point even if he wins the Open he probably wouldn't deserve a pick as it would look like a one week anomaly. Although I do think the pressure given our lack of experience would be to put him on the team in place of some of these guys we never would thought would be in contention for the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00steven Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 It’s sad, because he literally set a course record and won the last event at Bethpage. But I agree, he likely isn’t a consideration. He might take himself out of the conversation if his knee issue is as much as some think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phizzy30 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I take Brooks everytime. He's very tough mentally and his competitive fire is strong especially when it comes to big time tourneys. Sure, he can be an a****** and dismissive, however, he gets the job done. I'd rather have him on the team rather than someone who's friendly and a team player that folds under pressure. 1 Quote Callaway AI Smoke Paradym 💎💎💎9* - Diamana BB-63TX TM Qi10 Tour 15* - Diamana GT-80TX TM Tour Issue Rescue 11 TP Deep Face Proto 16* - Ventus Black HB 9TX New Level NLU-01 21* - KBS Hybrid Proto 105X New Level 623-M 5-PW - MMT 125TX Miura Tour 54* HB - KBS 610 125 S+, New Level SPN forged M-grind 58* - KBS Tour 130X Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ball speed dropped and he made some compensations in his swing when he was coming back from that injury. The man still has that killer instinct and competitive fire though which is scary in team events. 1 Quote Callaway AI Smoke Paradym 💎💎💎9* - Diamana BB-63TX TM Qi10 Tour 15* - Diamana GT-80TX TM Tour Issue Rescue 11 TP Deep Face Proto 16* - Ventus Black HB 9TX New Level NLU-01 21* - KBS Hybrid Proto 105X New Level 623-M 5-PW - MMT 125TX Miura Tour 54* HB - KBS 610 125 S+, New Level SPN forged M-grind 58* - KBS Tour 130X Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer instinct and all that competitive fire missed three cuts in four majors this year. 3 1 Quote Wilson Dynapwr LS/Carbon 9° Graphite Design AD TP 5s/AD VF 5s Wilson Dynapwr 3+ Graphite Design AD TP6s Wilson Dynapwr 19° , 22° & 25° Aerotech Steelfiber 75 fc s Wilson 6 Dynapower forged/ 7-P Staff CB all Nippon Pro Modus 115s Wilson RAW ZM forged 50°/08–54°/08–58°/06 DG 115 Mids MannKrafted Custom MA-55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he's not. 7-6-2 record in the RC. 3-0-1 in singles. So 4-6-1 with a partner in the most impoertant parts of the event. That's not being a killer. That's being well below average. Same as most of the USA teams of the last 30 years. Edited July 21 by grm24 2 1 Quote Dreams are not meant to come true. Dreams are meant to keep you going through the darkness.

I encourage folks to go look at the comments a mere two years ago when he went second-first at the first two majors of the year. You’d think the guy can’t even hold a club anymore the way people are trashing him for having a down year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a what you have done for me lately business. In 2024 he was T45, T26, T26, and T43 at the Masters, PGA, US Open, and the Open. He just backed those result up with Cut, Cut, T12, and Cut. Plus, he only has 2 LIV wins in the last two years to support any majors' results. At the end of the day that says career is going the wrong way. Whether that is fair or not doesn't matter. It is the reality of the state of his game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
