Breaking Down Corey Pavin’s Most Likely Ryder Cup Picks
Flick the lights. It’s last call.
Tuesday in New York, one day after this week’s Deutsche Bank Championship is scheduled to be completed, U.S. Ryder Cup team captain Corey Pavin announces his four at-large picks for the October matches in Wales.
Eight players — Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Jeff Overton, Dustin Johnson, and Matt Kuchar — already have secured spots on the team off a two-year points system.
Now Pavin gets the chance to put his lasting fingerprints on the team that will be a heavy underdog at Celtic Manor.
Only Mickelson (seven), Mahan (one), Stricker (one) and Furyk (six) have Ryder Cup experience.
“I am excited at the mix of youth, experience, aggressiveness and consistency of these players,” Pavin has said.
But the team’s success will inevitably be determined by Pavin’s four captain’s picks.
