“It was a tough choice with JT, certainly a tough call to make,” Furyk stated after the group was exposed. “But as a captain, you’re attempting to make the very best choice, put the very best 12 guys together, fit the puzzle pieces together, the pairings together.”
While the 31-year-old didn’t make a look, Team USA still won the occasion for a 10th successive time. The United States beat the International group by the rating of 18.5-11.5, with Keegan Bradley’s 1-up win clinching the triumph.
