The remaining six were chosen by a committee and announced on 23 August. The leading six in the points table were: Neil Coles, Peter Oosterhuis, Brian Barnes, Harry Bannerman, Peter Butler and Maurice Bembridge. The committee chose Brian Huggett, Peter Townsend and Bernard Gallacher who had finished 7th, 8th and 9th in the list, together with Tony Jacklin, Christy O'Connor Snr and John Garner. Jacklin had played most of his golf in America, while O'Connor had missed much of the season with a wrist injury. Garner was chosen over Tommy Horton who had had a good season in 1970 but had been less consistent than Garner in 1971.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Huk9AAAAIBAJ&pg=2143%2C3575325 Bannerman in Ryder Cup team by being fourth in points table Raymond Jacobs The Glasgow Herald 23 August 1971 5https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=H-k9AAAAIBAJ&pg=2252%2C3749978 Two Scots in Ryder Cup side: Garner preferred to Horton Raymond Jacobs The Glasgow Herald 24 August 1971 6 GBR 50px Team Great BritainNameAgePreviousRyder CupsMatchesW–L–HWinningpercentageSCO Eric Brown 46 Non-playing captainSCO Harry Bannerman 29 0 RookieSCO Brian Barnes 26 1 3 0–3–0 0.00ENG Maurice Bembridge 26 1 5 2–2–1 50.00ENG Peter Butler 39 2 9 2–5–2 33.33ENG Neil Coles 36 5 27 10–13–4 44.44SCO Bernard Gallacher 22 1 4 2–2–0 50.00ENG John Garner 24 0 RookieWAL Brian Huggett 34 3 15 4–7–4 40.00ENG Tony Jacklin 27 2 12 6–3–3 62.50IRL Christy O'Connor Snr 46 8 27 9–16–2 37.04ENG Peter Oosterhuis 23 0 RookieENG Peter Townsend 25 1 5 3–2–0 60.00 Thursday's matches Morning foursomes GBR 50px Results USA 50pxColes/O'ConnorGBR 2 & 1Casper/BarberTownsend/OosterhuisUSA 2 upPalmer/DickinsonHuggett/JacklinGBR 3 & 2Nicklaus/StocktonBembridge/ButlerGBR 1 upCoody/Beard 3 Session 1 3 Overall 1 Afternoon foursomes GBR 50px Results USA 50pxBannerman/GallacherGBR 2 & 1Casper/BarberTownsend/OosterhuisUSA 1 upPalmer/DickinsonHuggett/JacklinhalvedTrevino/RudolphBembridge/ButlerUSA 5 & 3Nicklaus/Snead 1 Session 2 4 Overall 3 Friday's matches Morning four-ball GBR 50px Results USA 50pxO'Connor/BarnesUSA 2 & 1Trevino/RudolphColes/GarnerUSA 2 & 1Beard/SneadOosterhuis/GallacherUSA 5 & 4Palmer/DickinsonTownsend/BannermanUSA 2 & 1Nicklaus/Littler 0 Session 4 4 Overall 7 Afternoon four-ball GBR 50px Results USA 50pxGallacher/OosterhuisGBR 1 upTrevino/CasperJacklin/HuggettUSA 2 & 1Littler/SneadTownsend/BannermanUSA 1 upPalmer/NicklausColes/O'ConnorhalvedCoody/Beard 1 Session 2 6 Overall 10 Saturday's matches Morning singles GBR 50px Results USA 50pxTony JacklinUSA 1 upLee TrevinoBernard GallacherhalvedDave StocktonBrian BarnesGBR 1 upMason RudolphPeter OosterhuisGBR 4 & 3Gene LittlerPeter TownsendUSA 3 & 2Jack NicklausChristy O'ConnorUSA 5 & 4Gardner DickinsonHarry BannermanhalvedArnold PalmerNeil ColeshalvedFrank Beard 3 Session 4 9 Overall 14 Afternoon singles GBR 50px Results USA 50pxBrian HuggettUSA 7 & 6Lee TrevinoTony JacklinUSA 1 upJ.
