No. Sergio also has 11 Euro Tour victories, semi-legendary Ryder Cup performance, and will be in the Hall of Fame if he never wins again.8 wins on tour is a very respectable career. Without a major his resume peers are something like Stuart Appleby, Sergio, KJ Choi, Bill Haas, Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker, and Matt Kuchar.
Hence his "borderline HOFers" qualifier.Well, I think Tiger Woods might make it.
Which makes perfect sense is conjunction with "I think Lee Westwood, Sergio, Scott, Rory and Day are locks."Hence his "borderline HOFers" qualifier.
He would be in my stone cold lock category. 22 eligible wins and 3 "majors" (PGA and 2 Players).I would add DL3 to the list of borderline, if not near lock. No Majors but 21 wins and Ryder Cup schwag, lineage to add to the narrative.
Check out the eligibility priority on this page. This year he was in priority #26. If he could have reached the top 150 he would have slipped to priority #30.He's basically back to where he was a year ago. He will have to play in the web.com tour playoffs and finish in the top 25 of money earned during the 4 event to get a card for next year.
If Furyk makes it I'll be actively heckling him at Hazeltine.If Davis Love picks Furyk, then all this talk about changing the process and having a committee is all window dressing. It'll be more of the same.
Furyk does not belong on this year's version.
Good. God. Please. NoBut I think when we get in that team room and whether I’m playing, whether I’m an assistant, I think the guys that have been through that with me – through the Ryder Cups, through the Presidents Cups – know that I’m dependable. I’m a guy that they want on their side.
Gird yourself. There is no way that Love will be able to resist.If Davis Love picks Furyk, then all this talk about changing the process and having a committee is all window dressing. It'll be more of the same.

I don't want to gird. Furyk would be an irresponsible pick. These guys are golfers, they know a huge round can come out of nowhere but the trend is more important than just 18 friggin' holes.Gird yourself. There is no way that Love will be able to resist.
"Look, this is the man with the low round in PGA history..."
You have made up every single assertion in this post, passed off every made up assertion as truth, and used this fake truth to justify your point. Nice work.If Furyk is picked, he'll be fresher than a lot of other players on both teams because of the lack of golf he had in the first half of the year. He would probably play in no more than 3 matches, and he'd probably win at least one of them.
If the US loses the Ryder Cup, it won't be because of Jim Furyk.
Furyk's career as a Ryder Cup player is filled with failure. He has put up 11 points in 30 matches, a pitiful record. And he did this over the years when he was significantly younger and a much higher ranked player. To think he can somehow be useful in any way at the age of 46 seems to belie the reality of golf, and athletics in general, which is that the younger players tend to shine.All of those "assertions" are simply my opinions. How have I passed them off as facts? The exception being Furyk's freshness - he played two tournaments before May this year, and although he's played a lot since then, I think it's reasonable to assume he won't have been worn down as much as many other golfers by September (even if he has played a lot of golf since May). The points about playing in no more than 3 matches and winning one of them are extrapolations based upon my knowledge of how wildcard veterans have often been used by past Ryder Cup Captains, the fact that very few golfers win no points in a Ryder Cup when given 2-3 matches, and the fact that often it's the less heralded players in Ryder Cup teams that perform the best.
I'm just trying to be contrarian, not an ass. If you think Furyk would cost the US the Ryder Cup if picked as a wildcard, I'd kindly ask you to show your work, please.
That was great! Eat your heart out, guys who "bailed" on the Olympics.Justin Rose takes his gold medal out of his golf bag and puts it around his neck before his final tap in on 18. It was pretty fun.
They mentioned it very early in the round, but nothing since. Maybe b/c it's on NBC?CBS keeps talking about the FedEx Cup standings, and obviously it's worth discussing, but they aren't even mentioning the Ryder Cup standings, and I can't understand it for the life of me.
