3 golfers (Adrian Meronk) who were snubbed for the 2023 Europe Ryder Cup team

I’ll be completely honest here: I don’t think there’s a single bad pick by Luke Donald for the 2023 Europe team for the Ryder Cup.

There was already a good base laid down by the automatic qualifying players — Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, Viktor Hovland, Robert MacIntyre, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are as tough of a six golfers to face as any.

But then you add in tons of experience and team chemistry in names like Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose. Some might question including young Ludvig Aberg, but he’s REALLY talented.

Still, some fans named some snubs after Monday’s announcement:

He’s won some tournaments in the past year on the European Tour and finished fifth in the points list.

Experience, for the most part, trumped good recent play:

He finished behind Paul and Meronk in the Ryder Cup standings, for what it’s worth.
