Ryder Cup is all set to begin by the end of this month. The teams, American as well as European, are all fixed. Their 12-member squads are open for public discussions now. The selections were made by automatic qualifiers and by the captain’s picks.
It’s not uncommon for players and fans to have differing opinions on Ryder Cup selections as captain’s picks often involve a balance of recent form, experience, and other intangibles. There has been severe outrage since Europe captain Luke Donald announced his picks.
