"It had nothing to do with his personality" US Ryder Cup legend on Justin Thomas
Lee Trevino rushes to the defence of Justin Thomas being picked in the US Ryder Cup team.
Six-time major champion Lee Trevino has rushed to the defence of Justin Thomas being picked in the US Ryder Cup team.
Trevino, 83, believes captain Zach Johnson picked PGA Tour star Thomas as a result of his Ryder Cup record and not just because of his personality.
Speaking on Michael Breed's SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show, A New Breed of Golf, US Ryder Cup legend Trevino said of two-time US PGA champion Thomas:
Trevino won six major titles, including two US PGAs, two Opens and and two US Opens.
He never won The Masters, with his closest attempts coming with a pair of T10s in 1975 and 1985.
Trevino won 29 times on the PGA Tour, and he played in six Ryder Cups as well as captaining the team to a loss in 1985.
Johnson said he chose Thomas as one of his six captain's picks as a result of his Ryder Cup record, but also his personality.
He said on Tuesday:
Johnson also picked Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Brooks Koepka and Sam Burns.
