Ryder Cup: 5 Most Intriguing US Pairings
By Adam McGee
Jimmy Walker and Matt Kuchar
As two of the slightly more experienced members of the American team, Jimmy Walker and Matt Kuchar would seem like a natural fit to play alongside each other, both in terms of temperament and their style of play.
Kuchar played well alongside Dustin Johnson in 2012, meaning that’s a pairing that could very much be in play, but struggled to find a fit in 2014. For Walker, although he lost only once as a debutant at Gleneagles, his partnership with Rickie Fowler only managed to lead them to three halves and a loss overall.
Considering both of these men have had memorable summers, with Kuchar claiming a bronze medal at the Olympics and Walker winning the PGA Championship, they could carry a feel-good factor into the Ryder Cup too.
