HEY, I resemble that statement!
wonder if he will have to cut his hair too?
No one can touch the US here
I wouldn't say there isn't anyone else out there. There are some guys who could have easily taken Fowler's spot.
Since the British Open how many top 25's has Fowler had?
Spoiler1 T14 at the British Open, next best finish t33 at Bridgestone
I don't think he is a bad pick, but I don't think he was the best
I don't think you can just automatically judge by his finishes in normal tournaments. Match play is such a different animal from stroke play. I see Fowler as a bulldog in a mano y mano match.
I'm judging him based on his current play. I think that is fair to do

It is fair. But what about play in the format given (which is completely different than stroke play)

Thats is what makes the Ryder Cup very interesting. Most of the players(on the US side at least, not sure on the EU side), only get what 1 or 2 match play events a year? So you have to judge them to make a Match Play event by what they do in the Stroke Play events.
If you read back on the older posts, I didn't say he was a bad pick, I'm just saying I would have looked elsewhere.
My main argument is for JB Holmes...In that same span since the British Open he has had 4 top top 25's. Including a t14 at the British(just like Fowler). Plus he has Ryder Cup experience. IMO he would have been a better pick ON PAPER...hope Fowler pulls an Ian Poulter. Poulter was a controversial pick in 08 and turned out to be their best player
So if that is the case. Where is Paul Casey?
Fowler has not competed at this level of talent in Match Play.
And that same argument could be made against others on this team.
IMO Ryder Cup is the same experience as Walker Cup in this case, because that was the bigs for fowler at the time. He has grown into a PGA Tour player, and so has his game. So he has high-level match play and format experience.
Paul Casey had a case of the grudges lashed on him by mooby mcmooberson. And Seeing that Fowler competed in the 09 Walker Cup, and did very well, its not too long ago. Fowler has high level matchplay experience, and has handled the pga tour pressure very well. I think he'll do well
He should do fine. But I dont think that comparing the Walker Cup against the Ryder Cup is applicable. Most of these guys have very strong Match Play records from their days as amateurs. Heck some of them have strong Ryder Cup records and were overlooked.
The Walker Cup is NOT the Ryder Cup. In my opinion, JB Holmes, AK, Bo Van Pelt, and Lucas Glover all deserved a shot over RF. Just my opinion of course.
I would normally not even think walker cup is even close to ryder cup, but its all we have of the kid in a big matchplay format, of which he pretty much destroyed. So in this case I feel its a fair assessment of his game because its so recent.
Im just stoked to see Fowler in something normal looking on the course.
will you recognize him? I wonder if Puma will make a special Red/White/Blue shoe for him
glover didn't even qualify to play this weekend. i wouldn't say that he's in top form at all.
