Davis love dropped a massive hint about who his fourth and final Ryder Cup pick will be when he announced that Bubba Watson will join in a Ryder Cup practice weekend.
Two time major winner Watson, who has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) as a 'difficult team mate', was the most conspicuous of the players left out when Love III named his initial three Captain's poicks last week, after giving the green light to Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and J.B. Holmes.
In response to the accusations that Bubba can be a tricky team mate, Love told TIm Rosafort at Golf Digest: "He’s the opposite of that. Everybody played with Bubba would say that. I’ve been on teams with Bubba. Everybody just loves Bubba. He’s quirky but so is Phil."
In what was fast becoming a Bubba/Love ... errm... love in, Love said Watson was the player he was most proud of on the Ryder Cup team he captained in 2012, as well as the 2015 Presidents Cup team in which he served as vice captain.
"Everybody tells you heartfelt stories about Bubba Watson," Love said. "I literally told him the other day, 'We love you Bubba.' It’s about pairings…The reason why he wasn’t in first three didn’t have anything to do with personality, it has to do with golf pairings. We picked guys to fit, now we need another pick another guy to fit."
Right, so... he can play.... or?......
