MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- United States Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton Monday named Stewart Cink and Jay Haas to this year's team that will oppose Europe in the fall near Detroit.
The two captain's choices round out the 12-man American contingent.
The European team will be finalized after the BMW International Open in Germany in two weeks.
"I don't remember being this flattered in my life," said Cink, 31, during a teleconference with reporters in Milwaukee.
"There were a lot of deserving players, but only two spots," Sutton said.
Haas, 50, and Cink join Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, Jim Furyk, Kenny Perry, David Toms, Chad Campbell, Fred Funk, Chris DiMarco and Chris Riley.
Cink has played in one Ryder Cup, going 1-2-0 in 2002. Haas has played in two and is 3-4-1 overall.
Matches for the 35th Ryder Cup will be played at the Oakland Hills (Mich.) Country Club, Sept. 17-19.
