Brandt Snedeker raring to go – Ryder Cup
When Davis Love III announced his Ryder Cup captain’s picks, many raised their eye brows when they heard of Brandt Snedeker.
Davis then gave reasons on the basis of which he chose Snedeker. Love said that he needed players who were hot with the putter.
When it comes to putting, nobody does it better than Snedeker. This guy is master class. We saw that in the Tour Championship, where he shot a magnificent third round.
Moreover, a composed fourth round enabled him to win his first FedEx Cup title and also bag in the prize money of $10 million.
This will be the first time that Snedeker will be a part of the Ryder Cup. It is natural, being a rookie, one is a little nervous but Brandt Snedeker has shown no sign of nerves as yet, even in the practice session. It seems as if he is raring to go at the
Europeans.
The fact that Love and the entire team was behind his selection gives him more confidence but winning the FedEx Cup really changed his attitude.
“I’m playing the best golf of my career,” he said. “I beat some of the best players in the world last weekend. So I feel like my game is exactly where it needs to be. And Friday morning can’t get here quick enough. I feel like I’m wasting time getting ready
the rest of the week. I’m ready to go”.
Snedeker is probably the best player in terms of putting in the USA team and this means that he can play with any of the 11 other players.
He, however, will form a very interesting pairing with Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk because they literally crush the ball. A bomber and a sublime putter is certainly the best pairing a captain can have.
“I definitely have an edge,” Snedeker said. “People don’t get that, because I’m polite. But when I tee it up on Friday here . . . I’m going to try and beat their brains in as bad as I can”.
The Ryder Cup starts on Friday and USA is anxious to end the European dominance in this competition.
