\"RyderThe US Ryder Cup team captain Jim Furyk<\/a> revealed three of his four picks for his squad early this week. He choose Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods<\/strong> and his choice of selection received a lot of criticism. Well it wasn’t just the US team that has taken heat for its Ryder Cup selection as Thomas Bjorn who is the captain for Team Europe also stirred the pot with his team selections.<\/p>\n

Bjorn chose Paul Casey, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson<\/strong> which surprised a lot of people as but there were several other options available to him. <\/p>\n

Bjorn will certainly have his picks second-guessed if Europe doesn\u2019t end up winning at home as it will mean a defeat for the first time in the last 25 years on home soil.<\/p>\n

The two golfing teams will battle it out<\/a> between September 28th and 30th at Le Golf National near Paris, France. It seems that the European captain chose to go with experience instead of current form when he selected Garcia, Poulter, and Stenson. He seems to have taken into consideration the fact that 5 of the eight golfers that automatically qualified for the team will be competing in their first Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
