Justin Thomas' Ryder Cup Outlook

Best asset: Experience. Thomas was the one member of the U.S. team to make the trek to France and play in the European Tour event. He played pretty solid there and ended up just a few strokes off the pace set by Alex Noren.

He’s the only one who will really know what this course can look like with a tournament setup.

Worst asset: Also experience. Thomas has racked up a lot of accolades, but this will be his first experience in the Ryder Cup. It’s a tough spot for any rookie to go on the road and play well in this event. That’s really the only thing that could hold Thomas back.

Ryder Cup Confidence Rating: 8 out of 10. I think actually making the trip to Europe and playing on this course will cancel out a lot of the effects of being a rookie for Thomas. He’s been pretty solid all year and will be counted on by the U.S. to produce.
