Pick 1) Ross Fisher - Playing well on European Tour and good opportunity to blood some young players given not a great US team

Pick 2) Carl Pettersson - Regular on the PGA Tour which will count for something given tournament being played on US Soil, coming off some good results including a recent win in Carolina

Poulter is Justin Rose's best mate quite apart from being the highest ranked of the non-qualified players and the two of them will undoubtedly feature as a pair unless I'm very much mistaken. Hi Kev  talktothehand

Casey played extremely well in the last RC and was a college star in the US so is familiar with the courses. oh and he also hits it about fifty yards further than most of the others and is well known for "hating the Yanks" Wink

Clarke was unliucky to miss out imho as he has been a stalwart along with McGinley, and Monty too for that matter even if he is a sour old sod but Faldo has a great deal of strength in depth unlike Mr. Zinger.

I for one cannot fault the logic behind Faldo's picks although Monty and Kev might Smiley

and he has gone with world rankings hasn't he? can't really fault that. It looks a very strong side. Expecting to win by 5 points.

The only possible case against Poulter is that he didn't show up to this last event to try and get in automatically...... that and the fact he's a gooner I suppose!

Because Faldo had already told him he was in.

But I don't see anything wrong with that either. A lot of pundits and ex players are saying he shouldn't have been picked because he didn't 'want' to make the effort to get in automatically. He's the best player outside of those who qualified so has to be the right choice.
