Steve Stricker said it was a no-brainer to skip the U.S. Senior Open to play in the John Deere Classic, and he s not fretting over the six captain s picks he ll need to make for the United States Ryder Cup team next month, either.
That s because he plans to seek the advice of the six players whoearn automatic spots as part of his team effort.
In a typical Ryder Cup year, eight players would qualify and the final four would be chosen by the captain. With the Ryder Cup being postponed a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 12-player roster has been split into half automatic qualifiers after the BMW Championship, with Stricker selecting the final six after the Tour Championship.
