Then There Were Three: Bubba, Berger, Thomas At Hazeltine
/T.J. Auclair reports on the Team USA practice session at Hazeltine National and concludes from the appearances that all of the Ryan Moore, Kevin Na, Kevin Kisner and Tiger Woods as captain's pick talk, may rest in peace.
(Yes, Rymer's making the Tiger case, here is our debate on Morning Drive. I will admit he made a better case than I thought.)
Auclair writes:
So with the Hazeltine invitation extended to Berger, Thomas and Watson, is that a sign that those are the three U.S. Captain Davis Love III is contemplating for that final pick during halftime of Sunday Night Football in six days?
Here are the team members out playing Monday.

Reader Jim has provided a wonderful service: he has given us the Ryder Cup team on points if you just took the 2015-16 wraparound PGA Tour schedule. He's added the bonus points for majors, as the current two-year list does. But note the location of Justin Thomas vs. Zach Johnson if the Ryder Cup points list was based merely on the last season of tour golf.
