Team Europe will have at least one new player, but probably two or three.
David Alcaide probably won’t be back. Labutis is too far behind on points unless he finishes first or second at the US Open.
Filler is the top point getter and is a shoo-in. Moritz Neuhausen is close to a lock. He is fourth in points, but he won the Euro Open this year and would be sure to get a wild card.
I’ve got to believe Shaw would be a wild card. Unless MR wants new blood and to see if the absence of Shaw gives Team USA a better chance.
