With eight players already in, captain Corey Pavin now needs to make his choices for the four captain's picks to round out his team for the Ryder Cup.

Something tells me when he does make the picks he isn't going to sit down with Jim Gray and announce his decision.

The eight already in are important to look at when deciding the four you want to add to this group.

The thing that most jumps out at you when looking at the eight is youth and inexperience.

Four of the eight will be making their first ever Ryder Cup appearance; something to definitely consider when picking the last four.

The eight are: Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker, Dustin (what bunker?) Johnson, Jeff Overton, and Matt Kuchar.

Mickelson, Furyk, and Stricker provide your experienced, veteran leadership. The other five provide what could either be called youthful exuberance or a great lack of experience.

The only one of the five with Ryder Cup experience is Hunter Mahan.

Johnson, Watson, Overton, and Kuchar are Ryder Cup rookies.

So, who should the four be?

Pavin has almost a month to make his decision, and a lot could unfold on the golf course between then and now.

There are some interesting choices.

Anthony Kim was having a great year before the injury. But missing three months will not help his chances. He has not looked good in the two events since returning. Kim was a member of the 2008 winning team.

Zach Johnson has been playing well of late. He moved up from 23rd to 11th in Ryder Cup points with his third place finish at the PGA Championship.

Stewart Cink is experienced and steady, but has had a disappointing year.

How about Fred Couples?

There is talk Bernhard Langer might get a nod from Colin Montgomerie on the Euro side because of his fantastic season on the Champ...
