Matt Chivers and Matt Coles talk about each of Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup picks for the 2023 matches in Italy on The Slam
The 2023 American Ryder Cup side is complete, but has Zach Johnson made the right Captain’s picks?
In a special episode of The Slam Podcast – in association with Callaway – Matt Chivers and Matt Coles discuss the six selections that joined the US side for the matches in Italy earlier today.
Justin Thomas was picked after some golf fans doubted if he’d be chosen, so how important is it for the two-time major champion to perform well at Marco Simone?
Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, and Rickie Fowler were also chosen as well as Brooks Koepka – the only LIV Golf player to make the American side.
Should Bryson DeChambeau have joined his LIV colleague on Team USA? Matt and Matt discuss how DeChambeau would’ve contributed to the team atmosphere when travelling to Europe.
Sam Burns is set to make his Ryder Cup debut having won the WGC Match Play in March – but was the runner-up Cameron Young unfortunate to miss out on a Ryder Cup bow?
The team also discuss other candidates that missed out such as Keegan Bradley, Lucas Glover and Denny McCarthy – while also looking forward to Monday, September 4 when Luke Donald is set to name his six Captain’s picks.
