The U! S! A! team has been announced, and going against conventional Ryder Cup wisdom it contains no fewer than six rookies among the twelve.
Of course, those 'rookies' include the Open Champion, the Olympic Champion and the guy who's just won $15m for winning the Tour Championship, but, you know, the Ryder Cup does funny things to players.
Among the other non-rookie US players are major champions in Spieth, Johnson, Thomas, DeChambeau and Koepka, the last two of whom allegedly hate each other. A surprise omission is Patrick Reed, who allegedly everyone hates.
Europe's team's not announced until next week but I thought I'd start the thread on the back of the US team picks for now...
