    I'd say it will be

    GMac/Gallacher
    Poulter
    Donald

    I wouldn't think Westwood is in it at all.

    Would have no problem with Wiesberger getting one of the picks, let's see how he gets on today.

    McDowell / Gallagher
    Poulter
    Wiesberger

    Good picks but I think jason day and erine els have just as much of a chance as Lowry and Harrington


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,111 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    This is great stuff from Gallacher, just like Donaldson last week he's rising to the challenge when needed. Needs to finish it off though, I wonder if McGinley will still consider him if he finishes just outside tied 2nd.

    They're not European so have no chance. It would be a real crowd pleaser if McGinley selected that Irish trio.

    I know that , I'm just sayin they have the same chance as Lowry and Harrington making the team , none .

    I don't see why not. McGinley would quickly make himself very popular with those wildcards.

    Very popular with who? Lowry and Harrington?

    The public and the press.

    For putting a Harrington who's in the worst form of his life and Lowry, who is quite a bit behind the other guys deserving of a place there? No it wouldn't.

    When Monty picked an out of form Harrington for Wales there was a lot of debate, and it proved to be a poor choice as he was very poor. This would be even worse.

    Jazuz, I'm a big Lowry and Paddy fan but that's just a joke to even mention their names, Paddy is on a constant downward path and Paul will be picking those on an upward form, if Lowry really wanted to make a move for the RC then he should have been out almost every week over the last few months trying to impress instead of an extended break.

    Looks like two of Luke, Westy and Poulter, simple as

    How can he NOT be considered!

    Between Harrington, McDowell & Lowry 4 Majors and they're Celts with the Ryder Cup in Scotland. What's not to like.

    Harrington has shown nothing all year and I think it has come to soon for Lowry , give him another 2 years and I think he might make it on his own merit so idhave to disagree with you totally

    Stop it david howell.

    Just. Stop!

    Popular in Ireland maybe, nowhere else!

    Picking Harrington wouldnt make anyone popular, anywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,243 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Surely Gallgher will get a pick now. He had a tough task to do this week, and is challenging up to the very end, he is local guy who knows the course, is in some form. Not like he is falling way short. Must be between Gallgher/McDowell, one will get in automatically, the other will be a pick.

    He's really done all he could today, with great pressure on him.

    McGinley said at the start of the week he wanted people in contention for the team to stand up and play. Stevie has done exactly that.

    I meant to say I wonder if McGinley will pick him, he'll be considered no matter what happens this week.

    That's exactly what I mean. Howell today is on some crazy good run, and Gallagher is keeping up, so he should get pick no. 1.

    Well done Mr. G - fully deserves his wildcard spot after that brave showing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,834 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    Superb effort by Gallacher, surely a shoe in for a wild card. No way the English guys out of form can all be picked.

    Gallacher really deserves the pick - hard not to pick him really.
