Without 'Captain America'
Patrick Reed, number 19 in the Golf World Ranking, is missing from the composition of the defenders of the country of the stars and stripes, and who, for example, improves the position of Scottie Scheffler. 'Captain America' is a regular in the competition, as he has one win and eight points, and is the great novelty of Stricker's squad.
As compelling reasons that support the captain's decision would be the state of form of the San Antonio player, since he lowered his level and also suffered from the coronavirus. In addition, his character also enters the scene. An athlete who is always controversial, and who would join an American team that already has clashes between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Cantlay also with the Californian player. Two controversies that grew during the FedEx Cup.
Along with the loss of Reed, the other important name that falls is that of Phil Mickelson. 12 Ryder Cup appearances and 2021 PGA Championship winner, but not selected by Stricker. Still, he will travel to Wisconsin, as he is a co-assistant on the US team.
