Get out your spreadsheets....we'll give this a shot.

TEAM SELECTION

Choose six golfers from the priced player list below within your budget of 15pts. Your team must contain at least two (2) American and two (2) European team members.

US Roster & Point Values:

Dustin Johnson - 4
Jordan Spieth - 4
Patrick Reed - 3.5
Rickie Fowler - 3.5
Phil Mickelson - 3
Jimmy Walker - 3
Matt Kuchar - 3
J.B. Holmes - 2.5
Brooks Koepka - 2.5
Brandt Snedeker - 2.5
Zach Johnson - 2.5
Ryan Moore - 1.5

European Roster & Point Values:

Rory McIlroy - 4
Henrik Stenson - 4
Danny Willett - 3.5
Justin Rose - 3.5
Sergio Garcia - 3.5
Rafa Cabrera-Bello - 2
Chris Wood - 2
Thomas Pieters - 2
Matthew Fitzpatrick - 2
Lee Westwood - 1.5
Martin Kaymer - 1.5
Andy Sullivan - 1.5

SCORING

Ten points are awarded to each player on the winning team of a foursomes or fourball match; five points are awarded to each player in a halved foursomes or fourball match.

Players on the winning team in foursomes and fourball matches are also awarded points for the margin of victory. For example, a win by 3&1 or 3&2 would both result in three bonus points, while a 5&3 or 5&4 victory would earn five bonus points. No points are deducted for players on the losing team.

All points above are doubled for the Sunday’s singles matches, so a player winning his singles match 4&2 would receive a total of 28 points – 20 points for winning and eight points for the four-hole victory margin.

TIEBREAKERS

#1 - US - European Point Differential (this would be a negative number if you believe the European team will win)

#2 - Points earned by Rory McIlroy (using the actual Ryder Cup scoring; not the scoring here)

#3 - Points earned by Jordan Spieth (using the actual Ryder Cup scoring; not the scoring here)

I'll update the standings each day. If I have messed something up, please point it out before Friday.

tl;dr

USA! USA!

Love the Ryder Cup.

I'm all for us, but don't we usually lose these. I mean I don't really keep up, but seems like any recollection I have of hearing news about it, we've lost.

They had this playing on tv in longhorns. I was watching and my wife was flipped out asking why I was concerned with golf lately (I've borrowed a pen from her writing down names of my picks a few times). I explained it was for Volnation street cred.
