Showing no Love for Ryder picks

Published



Captain Davis Love III rounded out his roster for the Ryder Cup on Tuesday, selecting Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson and Brandt Snedeker. No problem with the first two, both Ryder Cup veterans with a history of pairings with Tiger Woods. But the second two choices, not so sure.

Better picks would have been Hunter Mahan and Rickie Fowler. In selecting Johnson and Snedeker, Love favored recent results over Ryder Cup pedigree, which is never a good strategy.
