NORTON, Mass. ¨C On the eve of U.S. Ryder Cup picks, theLineage 2   list of contenders for the remaining four spots was just as murky as when the week started ¨C one locked and three spots up for grabs. Captain Paul Azinger will have a difficult decision before his selection is announced in New York on Tuesday.

Coming into the Deutsche Bank Championship, Steve Stricker was ninth on the Ryder Cup points list followed by Woody Austin at 10th, D.J. Trahan in 11th, Hunter Mahan in 12th, Lineage 2  Brandt Snedeker in 13th, Rocco Mediate in 14th, Zach Johnson in 15th and J.B Holmes in 16th, with Kevin Sutherland in 19th and Kevin Streelman in 50th. Both Sutherland and Streelman entered the mix when they played well last week at The Barclays and moved up significantly.

Most believe that Steve Stricker is a lock for the team.  wow gold shop He is 10th in the world rankings and the fourth-highest ranked active American. He finished T-19 at The Barclays and T-13 at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

¡°I haven¡¯t heard from Paul at all,¡± Stricker said after his final-round 68. ¡°I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking. Hopefully I get a call tonight or early  Lineage 2  tomorrow morning. I guess we¡¯ll just have to wait and see.¡±

Woody Austin was considered to be a pick after his magnificent performance in the President¡¯s Cup, but no wins in 2008 and recent missed cuts at the PGA Championship and The Barclays, make Austin a long shot. His consecutive 66s in the middle of the Deutsche Bank made Austin a guy to look at, but his final-round 75 may have sunk any chances Austin had of making the team.

¡°I wore my putter out the last two days to make the cut,¡± Austin said of his final round that included 35 putts. ¡°Today it completely took the day off.¡±

But Austin still held out hope that Azinger would look his way.

¡°I¡¯m not playing that poorly,¡± Austin said. ¡°I just can¡¯t get the ball in the hole most of the time. And the other two days when I shot 66, the ball went in the hole. Today, the ball didn¡¯t go in the hole, so I didn¡¯t score very good.¡±
