Pick Of The Day: Every Day

E.K

Well of course today is a special day, Being it 12/12/12 and of course the last time a repeat of numbers can ever happen on the Roman calendar. As of course next year will be 2013.
Meaning there is not enough months to cover the number. 13.
Lucky for some, the opposite for the rest.

However, being this a sporty blog, this is not the pick of the day for 12/12/12.
It is, infact the appointing of Mr. Tom Watson as Ryder Cup captain for 2014 on the United States' side for Gleneagles. The man has a very respectable Ryder Cup record with  10-4-1, and a  .70% conversion rate for points.
Aside from the fact we know he loves the Ryder Cup and has played magnificatly well at stages during his time as a competitive player, we must be sceptical and look at the pro's and con's to having him as the upcoming Captain.

Firstly he is, 63 years old and will be the USAs' oldest captain. And I know they say age is just a number but with the way the tournament is played at nowadays I'm not too sure if he can with-stand the pace.
Although he does have experience on his side. As did Davis Love 111 but of course he falterd at the fininshing line albeit to an exquisite comeback by Team Europe. Watson with the age barrier between himself and the players might have trouble gelling the team together in wake of the coming 2014 Ryder Cup. Although he does bring more Leadership and Inspiration qualities to the table than Davis.

In light of the recent occurance of events, it has sparked a bit of a Twitter frenzy,

Keegan Bradley has come out and said,
"All this Ryder Cup talk is getting me excited. Can we play now??!!!! #2moreyears"

Then, the Number 1 player in the world Rory McIlroy responded,
"You wanna get beaten again already!?"
 There seems to be a very healthy competitive edge to these already successful young players careers. And this will only get stronger coming closer to due date.

Only one man from the 26 who got their card is a member of the winners' circle from a previous season on tour and that is the man at the bottom of that list  Chez Reavie. Winner of the 2008 RBC Canadian Open.
A player who has proven himself a valid tour member but fell to 135 on the money list meaning it was Q School for him.

Three players have not actually gracced the hallowed fairways of the Pga Tour as of yet.
Donald Constable Henrik Norlander and Si Woo Kim. These three will find it most difficult coming into their first season on Tour and they will have to learn from their experienced friends on tour how to manage themselves and strive in the harse enviroment that is the Pga Tour.

Another two players have experienced the system however only on one occassion, that is,
 Derek Ernst and Eric Meierdierks. They along with  Steve LeBrun and  Brad Fritsch are very in-experienced with less than 5 Pga Tour starts before gaining their respective cards.

We have Two Ryder Cuppers in the graduate line in Ross Fisher who went 2-2-0 in his Ryder Cup start in the victorious European team of 2010 in Celtic Manor.  A house-hold name in Europe trying to make his way into the Pga tour ranks to develop his game. And, Robert Karlsson a big Sweed who was the eleventh man on the 2006 and 2008 side. His results were 0-1-2 gaining 1 piont in 2006 and in 2008 he went 1-1-2 gaining two points.

The remaining qualifiers have all qualified on the Pga tour before with four players:
Robert Karlsson,Kris Blanks, Jeff Gove and  Matt Jones.
Making over 100 Tour startin their carears to date.

 Michael Letzig has made 97 starts and has played very well on the Web.com tour in the past season with
14 cuts made out of 25. A very respectable result due to the high quality of golf being played week in week out.

That brings an end to the Q School Graduate list from 2012 and the final time this format will ever be used.
Watch out for these names this season and find out how hard or easy it is on tour once you gain your card.
