GM tips for this week:
USA1 – Zach Johnson – Two-time champion and all-time earnings leader at the Colonial course makes him an absolute must.
USA2 – Jordan Spieth – Still reeling from not picking him at the Masters, won’t make the same mistake again. Has had a couple of top 15 finishes here.
GB – Justin Rose – The Englishman would love to win around Wentworth and has all the attributes to do that this year.
Ireland – Rory McIlroy – Well we said to pick the World Number One last week and we aren’t going to tell you anything else after his astonishing Quail Hollow win. Oh and he is defending champion as well not to forget.
Scandinavia – Thorbjorn Oleson – Followed his 2nd-place finish in Mauritius with a missed cut in Spain… I have a feeling he has another good week coming very soon.
Rest of Europe – Francesco Molinari – Finished top 5 last week in Spain, and has finshed Top 10 the last 3 seasons at Wentworth.
Asia – Sang Moon Bae – Playing solid enough golf at the moment to get a pick from a category with not a huge amount of choice.
South Africa – Louis Oosthuizen – Four top 10s this season already, has a W coming just around the corner.
Australasia – Adam Scott – Defending Champion at the Crowne Plaza is enough of an excuse to get him in the team.
South America – Emiliano Grillo Playing wonderful golf of late including a 6th place last week in Spain.
Captain – Rory Well it worked last week and so am going to keep him again for this one.
