Justin Thomas to make US Ryder Cup team as Zach Johnson’s wildcard pick

• Captain will select double major winner despite lack of form
• Koepka, Spieth, Fowler and Morikawa also set to play in Rome

Zach Johnson is poised to ignore the poor form of Justin Thomas and select the two-time major winner for the US Ryder Cup team.

Johnson names his six wildcards on Tuesday, with much focus on whether Thomas, whose missed cuts at the US Open and the Open Championship featured rounds of more than 80, will get the nod.
