Video: The European Ryder Cup Captain’s Picks Have Been Announced

European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley has named Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher as his wildcard picks for this month’s showdown with the Americans at Gleneagles.

None of his choices were surprising, but the biggest name to miss out was former world number 1 Luke Donald.

Scotland’s Gallacher came agonisingly close to automatic selection by finishing third in the Italian Open on Sunday, just one shot out of the share of second place he required.

Last week Balls came in for some stick from Ryder Cup zealots when one of our writers opined that the captain’s role is one of the most overblown in sport. Whatever your view on that, you can’t deny that the skipper has completed today’s duty as well as could be expected.
