United States Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson has made his choices and the side is now set for next month’s matchup in Italy.
Four players will make their debut in the biennial event against the Europeans, who haven’t lost on home soil since 1993.
A story at our sister site For The Win, part of the USA Today Sports network, highlighted the players who were snubbed.
