I followed Shevchenko and Del Piero for a few holes at the Dunhill a few years back. Andriy is a left handed who hits the ball a mile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any situation where 3 or 4 picks isn't plenty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too many, can't imagine any situation where the guys in 7th to 9th don't get picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hatton is the one giving most cause for concern, he has hardly played this year. In his last 5 outings going back to the US Open he has missed the cut in 3 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his last 5 outings going back to the US Open he has missed the cut in 3 of them. Most of the concern is over the English players. Hatton, Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood all pretty much had qualification in the bag by the end of last year but have struggled in recent months. Fitzpatrick was in contention at the Scottish Open and Fleetwood was last week but there's not much there to inspire confidence in any of them. Westwood is another I worry about. He had a great spring but has done nothing this summer. I'm assuming these guys are all playing at Wentworth so hopefully they pick up some momentum there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The US team is deep this year, I think we'll struggle out there. Out of form players on a long slog of a course against a bunch of big hitters doesn't bode well I fear. On a wider theme, I think we're heading into an age where the home sides will triumph more often than not. We'll lose here, maybe heavily, but would be pretty confident of regaining at Marco Simone in 2 years. The European side has an end of an era feel about it. Westwood, Rose, Stenson, Poulter, Garcia. All part of a successful couple of decades. This is going to be a step too far for some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A Callum Hill - Bob MacIntyre one - two at Wentworth would almost certainly see both of them qualify automatically apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it though most reviews seem to be good. Yeah it’s a nice course, it’s tough but not ridiculously so, will be an enjoyable round! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Hatton and Hovland out together today and tomorrow. Harrington looking at a potential partnership there I reckon. Edit: Harrington is actually playing with them, duh. Vice captain G-Mac out with Boab and Noren, who is a dark horse for a captains pick imo. Also Luke Donald is a VC and is out with Stenson.
