Bjorn takes no chance, sticks with the old guard

After revealing his four picks to solidify the roster he’ll lean on later this month outside Paris, Thomas Bjorn put a confident cap on what in recent days looked like a delicate and difficult process.

“If I had written down 12 names before I started my captaincy journey,” Bjorn said, “it wouldn’t have been far away from this.”

Some might argue that’s entirely the problem.

Few Ryder Cup captains on either side of the divide have faced an easier batch of choices than the three Jim Furyk announced Tuesday in Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau.
