The buzz after the Captains Pick
The social media went into a massive frenzy after the highly anticipated picks were announced. Fans poured in their own opinion from all corners.
Some did not even shy away from calling out the captain for making the wrong choices.
Time for team USA to lose… terrible picks
While others questioned the absence of certain players from the pick.
Is Scottie not allowed ?
Many pointed out at the absence of Keegan Bradley and Dustin Johnson from the pick.
Keegan deserved over JT. If we’re basing this on past performance then DJ deserves the nod over JT. Bad golf doesn’t deserve a Ryder Cup spot. Congrats to all the players that made it though, the rest of the roster seems solid.
Some even rushed to defend the picks and batted for Zach.
All the people hating on JT gonna be silent when he gets the US 3 points.
Fans of Justin Thomas cheered him on and conveyed their best wishes to him.
Man, I'm looking forward to being there and watching JT quiet the haters, go get em JT!
A fan interestingly linked the performance of the players picked in the FedEx Cup pointing out that they missed it there and hence it means that their performance may not be on the peak.
What a joke, how does a man that misses the FedEx Cup Playoff make the team. PGA tour disappoints again just making picks off of names……..
The absence of certain players and the inclusion of others have fuelled debates on social media platforms. With the stage now set, golf enthusiasts eagerly await the tournament and see if these selections make their mark on the prestigious event. Which Ryder Cup team are you batting for?
