Backs to the wall, s*** or bust, 'No pressure, but if you don't come through in your match, we lose' ?

 

Colin Montgomerie.

 

Seve would be in the mix, but a freak, thinned 3-iron out of a cuppy lie has influenced my judgement.

How many times did Jack win Pipe Smoker of the Year then? (Brian was in 1977 BTW)

 

 

GOLF.com on Twitter: "Brian Barnes smoking a pipe at the 1979 Ryder Cup  [James Drake/SI] ... http://t.co/e7BX2luN"

 

A real character, used to putt with his glove on and when asked why he said why remove something that I have built a feel for?

 

So there's that, too.

I love some of the answers - lots of people colouring outside the lines on this one, picking old people, dead people, Euros, etc.  Maybe I can go with Suzann Pettersen?

 

Of the choices presented my very first thought was "Patrick Reed", followed by "duh.".

 

My only other thought was "did someone actually forget he'd won a major?"

From the list above Reed.  But if I had a choice of anyone on the squad, Patrick Cantlay.  Maybe I’m a prisoner of the moment, but he just closed out BDC and the world #1 in back to back weeks. 

How could you not pick Cantlay? That playoff versus Bryson was so clutch and his putting was solid in it.

On your list... Reed as much as I don't like that guy at all.

 

In reality?  Cantlay.  He just came out of the forge that was the BMW and the Tour Championship standing tall at the end.  His will to win can't be questioned right now.

Yup exactly why I would take them to win a single match. I mean he's Jack Nicklaus. But I know he lost twice in '75. But overall... Taking prime Jack to win a match is s great thing.

Finau took down Fleetwood in the last Ryder Cup and gutted out a critical half against Matsuyama at Royal Melbourne - he’s saltier than he gets credit for and got tough asks in critical spots for the team - tells the tale. 

LOL, Ian Poulter says I got this totally wrong!
