Looks like top 3 in points are going to be SVB,SKY and Dechaine

All depends on what players are playing Kuwait 9 Ball Open if any ?

 

[Mattrez]

Pretty sure only Dechaine and SVB are playing in Kuwait.

In other news, water is wet.


Of course SVB is on the team, c'mon.

If JJ wins US Open, he is in I suppose. The shot clock in Mosconi Cup may be a challenge..

 

[gxman]

I think Oscar went 0-2? Justin Bergman went fairly deep, but hes a lot of points away from top 5.

Pretty sure only Dechaine and SVB are playing in Kuwait.

If this is true SVB, Sky and Dechaine all three are on the team

Interesting to see how Mark uses his two wildcard captains picks though.

I'd like to see the experienced Rodney Morris and the safety specialist Oscar join the team along with the 3 you mentioned above.

Definitely congrats to Shane!

If my math is right, I believe Woodward is likely to finish no worse than third in the points rankings, meaning he will make his second straight appearance. Rodney or Dechaine is also likely to finish in the top three, and I would not be surprised if whichever of those two finishes outside the the top three is picked up as one of the wild cards.

That just leaves the fifth spot. If it were me, I would be looking at players who travel well internationally given that it's in England this year. Can't wait to see Wilson's final version

 

[gxman]

Will Shaw get picked for Team Europe?

 

[benny-the-blade]

Will Shaw get picked for Team Europe?

He'll get in either by qualifying or being a wild card pick, very likely.

Team Europe will look like this, is my guess:

1) Niels (already in)
2) Shaw
3) Ouschan
4) Appleton (despite a down year)
5) David Alcaide or Mark Gray

No one is talking about how well Brandon Schuff did, possible Captain's pick?

I would like to see Bergman.
