MEDINAH, Ill — Tom Lehman filled out the U.S. Ryder Cup team Monday by taking Stewart Cink and Scott Verplank as his captain's picks, hoping experience and accuracy will help his squad end a dozen years of European dominance.Cink, a captain's pick two years ago, has been one of the few Americans to play well over the last two months in moving up to No. 12 in the standings.Verplank was a top candidate to be a pick going into the PGA Championship because of his accuracy off the tee and his putting, along with his 2-1 record at The Belfry in 2002 when Verplank became the first Ryder Cup rookie to make the team as a pick.But Verplank missed the cut at Medinah after taking two double bogeys over the final three holes.
