U.S. captain Zach Johnson filled out his Ryder Cup team with familiar faces in Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa and...

Thomas was getting the most attention among potential captain’s picks because he was No. 15 in the standings, has gone 15 months without winning and failed to finish among the top 70 who reached the FedEx Cup playoffs this month.

Thomas, however, is considered the emotional spark for the U.S. team. He has a 6-2-1 record in two Ryder Cups and pairs well with Spieth, the three-time major champion who has played in every Ryder Cup since 2014.The matches are Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Marco Simone outside Rome. The Americans have not won away from home since 1993 at The Belfry in England — some Americans on this team were not even born at the time.

Europe’s team does not get finalized until after the European Masters this week in Switzerland. Luke Donald also has six captain’s picks.
