Brooks Koepka was among Zach Johnson's six captain's picks for the United States Ryder Cup team.
Thomas, 30, has been one of the Americans' best performers in international match-play competitions. He has a 6-2-1 record in two previous Ryder Cup appearances and a 10-3-2 mark in three Presidents Cups, tallying 17.5 points for the U.S.
"Bottom line is this game is really hard," Johnson said of Thomas at The Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in England in July."There's going to be peaks. There's going to be some valleys. Let's hope whatever sort of non-peak he's in, it's short. "I know he's got a great team. I love his coaches. I love how he works. He's a worker. Guys with talent like that that work and aren't afraid to put their work in the dirt, if you will, not to be cliche, typically find it. It's just a matter of when, not if. He's too darned good."
Thomas admitted earlier this season that he was probably putting too much pressure on himself because he wanted to make the Ryder Cup team so badly. He ranked 144th on tour in strokes gained: putting and 138th in driving accuracy . "I want to make the Ryder Cup more than anything," Thomas said at The Open."I'm probably honestly trying too hard to do it. It reminds me a lot of my first or second year on tour. I've tried so hard to make that team for the first time. I'm in a very similar position. I've been trying to make it easy on Zach and get in the top six, but I seem to not want to do that with my golf.
