Garcia, Poulter, Lowry……
No Justin Rose?! Can’t understand that decision myself. Would have picked him over Lowry or Poulter. |  | | |  |

Until this week Rose has had a poor season, in 20 events no wins and just 4 top ten finishes, Lowry has been playing well and only missed 1 cut so I would think it was between them, Garcia and Poulter you could not leave them out IMO. | | | |

I can understand it, but two of those top 10’s were the PGA and the Masters. Then again today when under pressure to show his worth. He is a big game player and would be in my side. | | | |

I’d say out of the four that Garcia and poulter are probably the two you’d want above all else. The experience those two have, and their effect on the US team is indispensable. Lowry and Rose? Not a lot in it but while Lowry seems to dip in and out of form, Rose seems to me to be struggling this year. Lowry has enough for, in him to go on a run of holes, which at the moment I don’t think Rose can. He’s holding it together on stroke play events but struggling to. I was being a bit facetious with my reply about Harrington being biased towards Lowry but tbh whether he was or not he’s probably called it right. | | | |

Sorry, I misunderstood your first reply.
I agree that Rose has had a poor couple of seasons by his normal standards. The stats available seem to differ depending on the source / when you take the COVID-affected season to have started, but including majors and European tour events, Rose appears to have had more too top 10s than Lowry and Poults.
Maybe I’ll always be biased by Rose closing stretch against Mickelson at Medinah. Still up there with my favourite golfing performances ever! | | | |

That was incredible and he’s certainly capable of great things in Ryder Cups. Must admit I haven’t looked at the rest of the qualifiers yet so don’t know if Harrington has some ideas in terms of who he might pair Lowry with which may also be a big factor. | | | |

I’m surprised Lowry got the pick over Rose. The experience of Rose takes it for me, and that’s a big deal in the RC. He’s also a man for the big occasion.
However as ftfn says, it was a close call. Pleased with the other two picks, I fancy our chances. |  |

Even more difficult when you consider leaving out Alex Noren & Francesco Molinari. Both in terrific form at the moment, as is Justin Rose. Those would be my picks. Henrik Stenson coming into good form also. The European Tour is very strong. Bit of a nightmare trying to pick three. |  | | |
