The data on how to pair folk is fascinating - guys that birdie par 3s with guys that birdie par 5s on four balls. Foursomes is even more tech - though you look at the states - with Cantlay and Xander and Speith and Thomas being pals. Think meronk was unfortunate - think Donald had maybe gone with the younger guy with the highest ceiling. Meronk was unlucky but you have to play nail the points or you at susceptible to what has happened

Andy Barnett

Very much so. Meronk could’ve been picked in front of many including Rose and Lowry. But the blend of experience and youth looks about right.

John Smith

I’m picking the US to win this year. Think the calibre and quality will be just that bit better

Gregg

Don’t think he was ever getting in front of those two. Points are on 72 hole events - this is a sprint. Lowry would be a great partner imo

Andy Fullen

Spot on. Would have been interesting if Bob hadn’t automatically qualified - would he have got a pick over Meronk..? I’m not so sure. Course fit, data, chemistry - so many things to consider with picks.

Ricky

Meronk must be gutted not to be picked whereas Bob McIntyre must be praying his form comes back Otherwise think this is a great team Donald has picked and must have a realistic chance of winning it

Gregg

No sure - Bob seems to the eye to be feast or famine - though his points tally suggests otherwise. Really interesting to see how he goes - great to have a Scot in the team

Callum Gordon

Meronk not getting picked is ridiculous, Donald has gone for sentimentality ( Rose because he lost out to Poulter last time ) and pals ( Lowry for Rory ) . I get picking Rose as he has real experience and mentality when it comes to the Ryder cup but Lowry has no place in that team , hasn’t played that many matches and his general play recently is poor .

Andrew Weir

Is there plans for a review pod?
