Seve,
I have a thought for the qualifying procedures I would like to submit for consideration.
Last year if i remember correctly, the best 10 based golfers based on the weekly 18 single play tourneys qualified ... and the captain had 2 picks. This left many very good match play players without a shot at making the team.
I'd like to suggest each captain have a choice ... 1) have 10 automatic qualifiers and 2 captain picks as last year or 2) have the top 8 qualify .... the next 8 or 16 (captains choice) do a single elim match play tourney seeded by their qualifying ranks for 2 slots .... then the captain can do his 2 "at large" picks.
Just another variation but one which would give a lot more golfers a chance to make the squad through match play .... and in all honesty ... the ryder cup is basically a match play tourney ... wouldn't the captain want their best match play golfers on the team ???
Just a thought ... love the tourney.
