we all know it depends on who qualifies by right.
poulter has to get a card and casey or dougherty will get the other asuming they dont get there on merit.

Where is Poulter playing over the next few weeks? His buddy, Rose is coming over to Europe to play in the next 2 tournaments to protect his place.
Casey, I understand needs to win in US to gain enough points.
I hope Dougherty and Kaymer make them sweat over the next few weeks.

GolfDonno, ur spot on.
Love to know the phone conversations between above players/ managers/ Faldo. Jockeying for position whilst trying to keep precious Fed Ex Cup points in check!

Faldo needs help with his picks, we need class players who are playing and I dont see any that fit that categery

For my money it will be Casey and Poulter that will be his picks.

It's hard to disagree with that if he choses to do it, but I personally would like Monty to get the pick as he's got a proven track record and Harrington has gone on record as saying that he want's him on the team - good enough for me!

His form is poor however and I find it astonishing that he's decided to take the next 2 weeks off. As far as I know he's not playing again until the final qualifying tournament at Gleneagles!

What do you think, would he be a pick if he somehow found form and got a win?

dont think faldo would pick monty, would cause conflict casey and poulter have got to be favourites

I think Casey is a must pick. His extra length means he is always likely to get birdies and will be a big asset in the better ball format.

i would pick casey and clarke as both are suited to the course and course set up to the point.both showed some form recently. other obvious candidates would be monty(only decent result french, fast running and tight) poulter( only 2nd top 10 of the year at the open , links golf in a 30mph wind) hardly like conditions at valhalla are either. more to the point, good luck paul finding 4 to pick! its a euro win.

It's easier to say who Faldo shoudn't pick. Montgomery is the one he shouldn't pick. Nick Doughety & Ian Poulter are my 'good team' men & Kaymer if he fails to qualify
