Azinger's no 1 player in that sequence is matched against Faldo's number 1 player in his sequence. Azinger's number 2 player in his sequence is matched against Faldo's number2 player in his sequence and so on So the captains are deciding the order in which their players will go out Its very simple; Each captain submits a sequenced list of their 12 players indicating the sequence in which their players will go out.

They submit the pairings to who? Who decides? If I am Zinger and say I want Mikelson against Garcia, does that happen or is there a veto or does some committee look at all the "requested" two captain pairings and then "some" committee decides? I have search also and found nothing. WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER? That still does not explain HOW the Sunday pairings are made. They submit the pairings to who? Who decides?

They then submit their selections and are as ignorant as the rest of us as to what the other captain will have done until the matches are posted. Obviously, each captain will attempt to anticipate the actions of the other. The captains select their pairings or singles list independently.

Or, do they switch off, discuss with one another, etc.??? Please advise...
