"It's just my wife knows - if Jill teed it up in the Ryder Cup for the other team, I would try to beat her pretty bad."Despite having a fairly dismal season so far, the 30-year-old has a strong record in this competition, and captain Zach Johnson decided to pick him based on those past performances. His six wins, two ties and one loss in previous Ryder Cups were enough for Johnson to put his trust in him, regardless of recent form.
Thomas however, wasn't so sure that he would be selected giving his poor showing so far this year, but is determined to make things right.

"I did not feel like I could win golf tournaments this past year with the state that I was in mentally. Now I'm just in a good head space, and that's what's most important."
