    Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan, JB Holmes and Chad Campbell

    Chad Campbell is a bit of a surprise but recent finish was good.

    Not for me. He played last time around and zinger was looking for players in form and with experience. To be honest there wasnt too many that could have been serious contenders for picks.

    Mahan is the suprise for me after his vocal opinion of the Ryder Cup just last month. Didnt see him getting a wild card after that tbh.

    None really make me worry.........not a strong US team - that doesn't mean that they aren't good players though.

    Stricker and Campbell will be tough oponents but I would not lose any sleep over the other two.....I'd even throw Poulter in against JB Holmes for the laugh! Rocco Mediate would have been a good pick imo, extremely gutsy competitor but then zinger was always gonna plump for the big hitters.

    I cannot wait to see Holmes hitting 350 yards drives into the trees :D

    Can you imagine playing foursomes with JB Holmes..... he takes forever to hit it, then when he does you're stuck in a tree and chopping out sideways for him to start the forever routine again :D

    Great shout about Rocco Mediate... The US always get it wrong with their picks. They pick the safe, boring, blue-eyed boy every time... They never picked Daly when he was playing well and he is one player who any European would've stood on the tee, faced him and said "F*ck, I'm in a bit of a match here with this guy..."

    Will they say the same about Campbell or Mahan or whichever other conveyor-belt PGA Tour schmuck they come up with? Not even a little bit.

    Everytime the US makes their picks, I feel the same emotion: YAWN!

    :D:D
    tbh I was jumping for joy when he was picked, purely because hes likely to be more disruptive to the USA than Europe! :D
