Nicolas Colsaerts Ryder Cup Odds
In 2009 he was ranked 1,305th in the world, so you could say he has come from nowhere to feature in arguably the biggest event on the golfing calender.
Played: Debut
World Ranking: 35
Best odds to be top European: 22/1 (Skybet)
Best odds to be top continental European: 4/1 (Ladbrokes)
Verdict:
The lowest ranked competitor in the tournament and perhaps the least well-known. However, the first Belgian to ever take part in the Ryder Cup should not be taken lightly by the Americans. The 29-year—old is a bomber who should threaten the long-hitting hosts off the tee which makes him an ideal candidate for fourballs. The captain’s pick won the Volvo World Matchplay this year to outline his credentials.
