Colin Burton doesn't need the other eleven clubs!
Colin scored an excellent 38 pts in Sunday's 3 Club Competition for a four point victory over Alan Clack, Pete Roberts, Des Chapman and Sean Briant were third, fourth and fifth on count back after all tied on 29 pts. Brian Harrison was the only player to score a Two in the sweep.
When you read this the Captain's picks for both Ryder Cup teams will have been announced, both teams look strong with the European team having a little more Ryder Cup experience perhaps. I would assume that Ian Poulter would be one of Paul McGinley's picks due to his performance in past Ryder Cups, especially last time. Lee Westwood and Luke Donald are also relying on picks, both also having performed well in the past, none of them are in great form though so he will have a difficult choice. Stephen Gallacher had to finish first or second in last week's Italian Open to secure an automatic place and he came agonisingly close finishing third one shot behind second, there is also an argument for his selection and he we would certainly have the Scottish crowd behind him, he may surprise us altogether though.
Tom Watson also has some tough choices to make, I am pretty sure Keegan Bradley and Hunter Mahan will get a pick but the other spot could go to a host of players; Webb Simpson, Billy Horschel, this week's winner Chris Kirk, Erik Compton, Brooks Koepka or Brandt Snedeker. Whoever gets selected though, both teams will be strong with a good mix of experience and some very exciting debutants. The weather may also play a part, I am sure it's going to be a cracker!
