Stricker and Furyk were 10 and 11 on the points list. It is not like either one were reaches. Tiger and Stricker were also the two guys who had yet to win a match. There was not exactly a good place to put either of them.
He texted Watson and said he really wanted to be on the team. Rumor is Watson changed his mind and put him on. "Begging" is a stretch.
Really? Begging is a stretch?
"I know it’s a really tough decision for you, I know Chris just won and I know Bill is playing good and you even have other options than that. But I really, really, really want to be on the team and I really want to represent the United States."
At 4am the day of the selection.

Pretty shameless begging indeed. But, I have a difficult time believing that a text stating the same thing every other potential pick was thinking swayed Watson's decision at all.

I really don't think Webb would have been as strongly considered had it not been for the Bubba pairing issue. I still bet that's what Watson was thinking most about when he picked Webb - regardless of the begging.
I don't know why, but I expect Spieth to have a big Ryder Cup for us.

how awesome would it be if boob was bob's creation
If Webb stinks it up he may wish he hadn't begged his way on to the team.
