Henrik Stenson's Ryder Cup Outlook

Best asset: Tee-to-green game. This course should fit Stenson’s game. He’ll be able to use his 3-wood and find the fairway, then use his approach game to attack the pins.

Worst asset: Health. Stenson’s form has been inconsistent this year, as an elbow injury has hampered him over the past few months. He hasn’t really taken much time off, but his results have definitely been below his standard.

Ryder Cup Confidence Rating: 6 out of 10. His health is a real concern. Couple that with a .500 Ryder Cup record, and he’s a got a few areas of worry. I’d expect Europe would send him out earlier with Justin Rose, probably in the alternate shot and see how things go. If the game isn’t there, he might not play again until singles.

Expert Predictions: Over/Under 2.5 Points

Sobel: Under
Perry: Under
Mears: Under
