can this be right ???? maybe I have these stats all wrong ?????

where is Donald, Poulter, Casey, Mcilroy, Stenson ?????

it is early but this is scary bad for europe and monty

I wouldn't worry too much about it until next June or so.

theres no way that players like noren and barham and cabrera bello will be in the team come next year

i can see the team looking something like;
garcia
harrington
mcilroy
fisher
westwood
poulter
casey
kaymer
jimenez
stenson

wouldnt expect players like
donald
rose
wood
fdz castano
hansen

to be all too far away
they will be the main ones i reckon

What? No Quiros?

Hansen, Hansen & Hanson could join the Hansons!

As said, this will be fixed well in time.

Look out for the new generation Mcilroy Noren Kaymer!

you guys do better as the underdogs anyway, if your team looks bad on paper you'll probably win 28-0

wasn't Ross Mcgowan engaged to Marilyn Manson for a while?

Yes Quiros is one to watch and don't diss Cabrera Bello have you seen that kid play? He is awesome!!

Good one mate.

As others have said, there's time yet for the usual suspects to appear on the list. Casey's been injured. Donald's been playing like me. Stenson's best form was earlier in the season. It's a bit of a mystery how the system hasn't taken note of McIlroy though. The system's not ideal, but I can see the team that pitches up being half decent after the numbers have worked themselves out a bit over next summer.

As they say in my part of the country: it'll be reight.

You guys are all forgetting the most important detail -- Tiger will be back on the U.S. team, and will inevitably destroy the beautiful chemistry we (the Americans) had in '08.

cant see cabrera bello making the team im afraid
i wouldnt say hes good enough to be in the top 20 europeans
maybe in 2012

Bold statement, but you could actually have a point...

I fear you may be correct.....we need more Boo, less Tiger in team competition, the good news is Sergio will probably make the team, I think Dr. Evil stole all his Ryder Cup mojo.

+1

Indeed, a tad premature maybe...

Even Captain Curmudgeon isn't worried so why should we be?

I hope you are talking about Monty ..

Yes, Happy Colin was who i was referring to Martin.

So you guys are seriously blaiming our poor Ryder Cup teams in the last decade on Tiger? Haha, come on, you can't be serious. Everyone on those teams have talked about how he is a different Tiger at the Ryder Cup. He is always joking, pranking, and goofing off. The difference in this last Ryder Cup was Paul Azinger compared to Hal "The Grump" Sutton and Tom "Unable to Motivate" Lehman.

I also didn't see any explanations of why Tiger DID NOT "destroy the beautiful chemistry" on any of the President's Cup teams he's been a part of over the years! The Tiger-era record of 3-1-1 in the President's Cup includes the '98 loss, where the entire U.S. team played like a bunch of 10 handicaps, and the tie that featured the incredible sudden-death duel between Tiger and Ernie Els...

Europe can potentially have a very strong team. A McElroy and Harriington pairing would be very difficult to beat along with a Westwood and Sergio pairing. Next years Ryder cup should be very exciting seeing that it's being played in Ireland. The crowd's going to go crazy if PH and RM play together. Stenson, Casy, & Fisher are no slouches either. If Karlson gets back to form, along with these guys, Europe will really have a strong team.

Next year's Ryder Cup is being played in WALES, The land of Song, don't count out Dredge from making the team, Monty as allready said he would like to see a welshman on the team,
It will be the Noisiest Crowd the US will have ever encountered trust me and possibly the wettest weather as it's being played in October
