Like all great ideas – and plenty of not-so-great ones – this idea was borne on a whim. It was during my SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show when it dawned on me to ask my co-host Michael Collins to name the three players he trusts the most to perform well at this week's Ryder Cup.
It's a difficult question, but one – for me, at least – which uncovered a revealing answer.
The three players whom I most trust to find success are all on the European side.
Now, before you accuse me of some sort of reverse jingoism or self-loathing, that doesn't tell the entire story. While three players on that roster are at the top, those from the U.S. team dominate the spots just behind them.
