A lot has been made of the quality of players that Monty had to choose from for his 3 wildcard picks but it's not as if the Americans are lacking in top class players to choose from either. Here's a list of players to pick & there current world ranking.

Woods 1
Kim 16
Z Johnson 17
O'Hair 22
Watney 29
Glover 30
Fowler 32
Cink 36
Van Pelt 43
Crane 44

This is how it shapes up in terms of points

9 Anthony Kim 3,274.684
10 Lucas Glover 3,052.874
11 Zach Johnson 3,051.897
12 Tiger Woods 2,902.580
13 Bo Van Pelt 2,662.234
14 Stewart Cink 2,644.833
15 Ben Crane 2,629.796
16 Ricky Barnes 2,610.171
17 Nick Watney 2,557.441
18 Sean O'Hair 2,417.574
19 J.B. Holmes 2,390.710
20 Rickie Fowler 2,353.320

Glover & Cink whilst both being major winners haven't really done anything this year to warrant a selection but with Kim only just returning from injury & the jury still out on Woods perhaps they will get picked. The only certainty I'd say is Zach Johnson.

My 4 would be Z Johnson, Watney, O'Hair & Fowler but I think Pavin will go with Woods, Kim, Z Johnson & O'Hair.

I think Pavin had a far easier selection than Monty,

Woods was a cert, easy pick now his form is coming back.
Zach Johnson has experience and a great foursome / fourball partner.
Cink again brings experience and is in form.
Fowler is the future, suspect he will get a couple of fourballs.

Kim no form, Watney (PGA enough said), O'Hair / Van Pelt poor recent form.

Europe will still win but not by much.

With Kim unable to produce any kind of form since his return from injury (a bit unfortunate for him - as he took time off for surgery when he thought his Ryder Cup place was nailed-on, only to drop out of the top eight in the very last counting event), it was pretty clear that Pavin was going to pick Woods and three his mates on Twitter.

Fowler and Bubba Watson are best of buddies, so can see them playing together in the fourballs.
