After much discussion, and review, the final US Ryder cup captain's pick will be:
Daniel Coates
Daniel had a great year and has played well of late. The combination of consistency, veteran leadership and good recent play makes him the perfect addition to this team.
Welcome Daniel.
I promise you this was an extremely hard decision. The names of people we reviewed were extensive and Irving and I could write a short but riveting book.
The US players are deep and talented and I suspect we will give the European's hell.
Let the games begin.

I just got slapped in the face and kicked in the junk and not sure why unless there's some rationale I just don't understand...and being a successful engineer w/ a black belt in statistics, I'd think I understand logical reasoning.
Facts: 1) Top5 finishes Dale 5 Daniel 2 Chuck 1 Albert 1
2) Top10 finishes Dale 13 Daniel 8 Chuck 7 Albert 3
3) Scoring Avg: Dale 62.7 Daniel 63.3 Chuck 63.5 Bob 63.6 Albert 63.7
Recent play: 4) Summer Showdown Semi-finalist only beaten by the most elite players 5) Sept Match play- 5-0, about to be in final 8 6) American State Championship- Medalist a few weeks back and one of the top player 7) Currently tied or ahead of all captains picks this week in Tour Championship 8) Didn't fare too well the past 4-5 weeks because I was getting bad putter lag, was fixed when I figured out my default graphics settings were maxed from when I cranked it up to take pictures of my Monsoon course and didn't revert back (normally play on medium). Lag gone- Since changing, gaining 1-2 strokes a round again back on the greens.
Not going to raise too much of a stink, but I think you guys outsmarted yourself, I'm 9th and way ahead of 10th in Ryder Cup points for a reason...I'm the 9th best US player.

Certainly a good argument dale. I feel for you buddy. These decisions are never easy and someone will always be pissed off about it, unfortunately that has to be you.

Sometimes it goes by feel, that or an extra $20 slipped under the table at the right time.
In all seriousness from a numbers standpoint you are right, however sometimes people gotta go with their guts. Just like in RL there is always controversy. We'll see if Daniel proves the Captains right or wrong.

Congratulations to Mr. Coates for making the last spot.
Dale: The US Ryder captains had some tough choices to make and I'm sure they looked at every possible statistic regarding which pick would give them the best chances. Too bad they probably didn't now about your now-fixed issue with the mouse. If it's any consolation, you would have been my pick despite your recent woes with the putter lag.

Well that's disappointing, I was hoping you'd select Andrew Sikorski so I could drop this line on you: "Play on the fade like Garcia, not the slice like MrSourNinja" Rumour has it that misternic is really @swaeromotion but missing a Bal Yo, man, let's get out of here! Word to your Mother!

Main site you're 8th on the list, I assume because Tyler Duke has been inactive the last few weeks? I'm guessing if he doesn't post his 2 round scores by midnight then you'll be in as he needs to be active when the teams are named? At least that was the case on the Euro side with Tom.

Tyler Duke wasn't inactive when the automatic qualifiers were chosen. I think that guarantees his spot? Doyley

Doyley Yeah that's correct and if Tyler Harris didn't bail he would have one of the 8 automatic spots as well and then there wouldn't be the Dan/Dale drama

I am also a stats geek. Just pointing out that someone just missing out on the team has the right to state their case even in retrospect. Dale is behind Team USA, despite what has happened.

No, but I respect his logical retort, even if you think it is sour grapes. I respect the USA teams' decision and will act accordingly to try and defeat team Europe. Semantics isn't what we need right now. I only point out that Dale simply has the case, IMO (which means nothing), to be included. I also don't consider this a Daniel Coates vs Dale Burger case but Dale Burger vs all 4 Captains picks, even myself. Go USA!
