The conclusion of the PGA Championship provided the perfect time to reveal the top 8 players for the 2012 Ryder Cup. Team Captain Davis Love III held a press conference to discuss the players who automatically qualified for the U.S. Team (see photo), and how he will use his judgement to pick an additional four players. "Both the U.S. and European teams will be deep with talent, so I have to pick the remaining players for the U.S. team by considering who has previous experience and who blends well with our marquee players," said Love III. Players may also be considered based on how well they handle pressure since the bi-annual tourney between the top European players, like Rory McIlroy, against the top U.S. players can become hotly contested. Love III assured those present that all the pro golfers are friendly to each other before and also after the Ryder Cup, which will be played at Medinah Country Club near Chicago on September 28 - 30. After the Ryder Cup, Love III will host the McGladrey Classic in October at St. Simon's Island in Georgia.
