Poulter boosts Ryder Cup hopes
? 12 hours ago
Ian Poulter's joint third place in the USPGA Championship has taken him into an automatic qualifying spot in the European Ryder Cup race with a fortnight left.
Sergio Garcia falls out, but things could change yet. Garcia, who missed the cut at Kiawah Island, plays in the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina this week, as does 12th-placed Nicolas Colsaerts.
Also to come is the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles starting on Thursday week. Poulter and Garcia are not in that, but Colsaerts, USPGA surprise runner-up David Lynn and Spaniard Rafa Cabrera Bello all are and there could be enough points on offer for them to make the side.
Captain Jose Maria Olazabal selects two wild cards the day after.
Latest leading positions in the European Ryder Cup table (top five on European points list and top five not already qualified on the world points list qualify on August 26. Captain Jose Maria Olazabal then adds two wild cards):
European points list (capitals indicate players in qualifying positions): 1 RORY McILROY 4,050,287, 2 JUSTIN ROSE 2,602,909, 3 GRAEME McDOWELL 2,375,789, 4 PAUL LAWRIE 2,088,717, 5 FRANCESCO MOLINARI 2,062,525, 6 Peter Hanson 2,022,431, 7 Luke Donald 1,885,169, 8 Martin Kaymer 1,871,797, 9 Nicolas Colsaerts 1,733,163, 10 Lee Westwood 1,692,029.
