Justin Thomas was the only controversial pick of American captain Zach Johnson, a vibes-over-performance selection that outraged a segment of golf fandom. Keegan Bradley, who was passed over for a selection, bemoaned the fact that he's a golf 'outsider' — the implication being that Thomas' cool-kid status got him onto the team.
USA's Justin Thomas during a press conference at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, Rome, Italy, ahead of the 2023 Ryder Cup. Picture date: Tuesday September 26, 2023. Justin Thomas was the only controversial pick of American captain Zach Johnson, a vibes-over-performance selection that outraged a segment of golf fandom.
"I definitely haven't kept the receipts," Thomas said."I don't feel like there is any good that can come from that. After I was picked … doesn't matter what it is, especially when it comes to people and stuff online. Everybody's got an opinion and theirs is right and everybody else's is wrong, at least that's what generally seems to be.
Thomas is on the team in large part because of his success in 2018. While the rest of the United States was getting waxed in Paris, Thomas went 4-1-0 on the week. He brings energy and spirit to the team locker room, a characteristic that Johnson will be relying on in hostile territory.
