U.S. team captain Corey – Pavin (Corey Pavin) announced in the three wild cards is not surprising. Stewart – Stewart Cink won the British Open last year, champion, over the years he has been a mainstay of the Ryder Cup, this is his third time Ryder Cup wild card, will represent the United States team set off the fifth. Stewart – Stewart Cink took part in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Ryder Cup, with a total record of 4 wins 7 losses 4 level.
Before the U.S. Masters champion Zach – Johnson in the U.S. PGA Championship third place, in addition, by the end of May he also won the Colonial title. This is his second Ryder Cup in 2006, his record is 1 win 2 losses 1 level.
Of course, the Barclays Classic and Deutsche Bank Championship, Woods received a wild card opportunity far greater than the above two players. No other reason, he still is the world’s No. 1 player, he won 14 Grand Slam titles, and participated in five sessions of the Ryder Cup (1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, Creek 2006 years), if not the 2008 injury, he would attend that session of the Ryder Cup. Although Woods had a very difficult season, but the last two games that he has recovered. Woods’s Ryder Cup record of 10 wins and 13 losses 2 level.
The fourth wild card, relatively speaking the most suspense. Corey – Pavin did not pick in the Deutsche Bank Championship win Charley – Hoffman (Charley Hoffman), has not selected before surgery Kim explosive performance, but rather to a new wild card: Rich – Fowler . 21-year-old player is considered the U.S. Future Stars, in the rookie, won the two runner-up, and is expected to participate in the Tour Championship. But his weakness is not won. His selection means that this year’s U.S. team has not won the championship by two players. Another is the automatic selection of Jeff – Ovington (Jeff Overton).
