Would you have picked Ryan Gerard instead of Justin Thomas if you were Brandt Snedeker?

Justin Thomas' form over the past 18 months has been questionable...

donaghcorby19974w ago

I prefer Thomas personally. More of a big game player!

Huge pressuee on JT to perform now

bfrey583264w ago

Yes. JT has not been a top player for a long time. Gerard could be a fixture on the teams. Give him the experience.

I definitely would have. Thomas’ passion for the big stage over Gerard, who did not look good under pressure recently

Thomas is passed his expiry date. These emotional picks rarely work out.

I would have picked JT and Gerard and not bothered with Cantlay this time. Everyone knows what Cantlay can do in the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. A little warning about complacency may have been a good thing for him

jamesshearman234w ago

This is the correct answer! People still talk about Xander & Cantlay as if they’re a banker but they’re really not anymore

peter.lynch4w ago

Nope! Going for the experience is a good call I think… but in the end it won’t matter, they’ll cruise to another win

Thomas is clearly going for his influence in the team room, but I wouldn’t have picked him. He’s been really poor for 18 months now and I believe he’s one of the most overrated players on Tour. Gerard has huge talent and could’ve made a big difference for the US at Medinah. JJ was the only other option but his recent injury problems certainly were not ideal
