Ryder Cup update
As a player, Nick Faldo had about as much personality as a lettuce. However, now the sticks have been put out to pasture and he’s ripped through several marriages the six-times Major champion seems to have found some charisma and, of course, the Ryder Cup captaincy. I have been lucky enough to speak to a few people who know him in the last few weeks and by all accounts Faldo is as focused on winning the Ryder Cup as he was in his playing days.
What I do know is that barring some amazing turnaround in form he will not pick Monty as a wildcard and that he has intimated he could pick Darren Clarke if he builds on last week’s good performance at Firestone. However if Garcia can qualify automatically then Faldo is apparently aiming to have Paul Casey and/or Ian Poulter as his Captain’s picks. This, of course, is only insider hearsay but what is more intriguing is that the experienced players are saying that Faldo is already as good a European captain as they’ve had.
