That came from Bob Harig.

Up until Harig posted, the money was on Stewart Cink. Harig is well connected, so we'll see.

I'd love to see Keegan get it (only because there was no chance they'd pick David Duval), but Keegan presents some issues. He's young, he still plays the PGA Tour regularly and there's bad blood between Keegan & the JT/Fowler/Spieth gang. Keegan got screwed out of his spot on the last Ryder Cup, because Zach was weak and got ganged up on ... & paid the price.

My friend Mark Baldwin had a great take on it. Phil and Keegan are very good friends. He said if Keegan gets it, he then appoints Phil as Asst. Captain.

Keegan goes humming along as Captain, until he's sure he's going to qualify on points. Then he resigns to "concentrate of playing" and Phil becomes the Captain. I'd love to see that scenario!

I'm waiting to see RadarAtlas' post. I'm sure he's watching to see if NetJets flies Cink or Keegan anywhere tonight.

If Keegan gets the nod, I can't wait for his phone to Zach, informing him that he's not picking him as an Asst. Captain!
