Euro target practice
Monty picks Darren Clarke, Paul McGinley and Thomas Bjorn.
Thoughts on these picks?
I'm surprised Phil Price didn't make the list. Thought Monty would go with 4 to mirror the US picks, and select a local boy. Although he maybe didn't want to look like he's copying Pavin's model with 4 picks.
He's picked 3 guys with big characters, who are popular and respected on the tour. May help with team spirit, especially if things start getting down. A situation which Monty himself may not be best placed to rectify!
Lastly, there's a lot of experience of the Ryder cup there. Maybe most importantly, not always winning experience! Lessons to be shared amongst the team.
