'Will choose' or should choose? As it stands, for me it'd be Poulter & (shock horror) Casey. You?

1. The guy who wore pink trousers on Sunday.

2. Padraig Harrington, cos he won The Open

3. The Scottish one with curly hair, quite old, always plays.

4. Sergip Garcia cos he was supposed to win The Open, it said in the paper.

How many more do we need?

Right, Joggerjayne, Faldo (the captain) has two picks at his discretion supposedly based on form and how well they play in a matchplay format as opposed to your criteria of how they swing their wood... ;-)

1. Poulter wore pink so he’s in according to you
2. Harrington is in by right
3. Faldo and Monty don’t get on and Monty is a stroppy sod and gets tetchy when barracked (inevitable in the US)
4. Garcia isn’t on top form at the mo.

Monty, that's him.

Okay, it's Poulter and Montgomery (Faldo will have to be big about it, cos Monty is good for the other players' morale)

If it was in Europe then perhaps Monty for his experience, but he’s renowned for spitting the dummy when teased and over the pond he’ll be barracked at every opportunity. He was throwing his toys out of the pram ‘cause it was a bit windy last week. The wuss.

I would guess Poulter (did you also see his Rupert Bear trousers on thursday); Jaminez, Harrington and Garcia. I doubt he will pick Monty cause as well as not getting on, Monty is not in form.
I saw Faldo being interviewed at the start of the last day and it still sounds pretty open.
Do you think Justin Rose has any chance?

The Thursday trousers aren’t the most garish he’s worn! There’s still a few tournaments to go but you can track who’s in by right here…

The bold are through and then there’s the two Faldo picks, Rose should be OK by right, Garcia needs to do something between now and the end of August.
