A Wild Ryder Cup

As the Kilted Caddie writes, European Team captain Thomas Bjørn’s gamble for his wildcard picks in the Ryder Cup did pay off big time

Phil Mickelson and Bryson Dechambeau compare notes on a green

Phil Mickelson has one of the worst driving accuracy records on the PGA TOUR this year, and Le Golf National is a very tight course. Moreover, Phil has hardly been on form as of late. My non-golfing grannie would have chosen Xander Schauffele over Phil, and she’s wild. That was just a ridiculous choice.

Also questionable was the inclusion of Bryson Dechambeau. However, I have a theory that Mr Furyk is rather a fan of the unorthodox swing and also may have believed that a French surname in the line up was portentous, or at least may have swung a few of the natives and may be called a long shot double bluff on the home support angle. You can almost hear it ‘Dechambeau is two up. Bien!’

Anyway, that’s enough for poor Jim and the thwarted and severely challenged U.S. Ryder Cup golf team. Very well done to Bjørn the gambler and his pumped up and highly inspired team. There is hope for Europe yet.

But please don’t let me get started on our politics!
