Ryder Cup Wildcards

You know it's been coming and now is the time to have your say on who you would pick but we also want to know why.

So you are Captain Colin, sitting with the media glare upon you once again at the plush Gleneagles Hotel Sunday night.

Here's my picks:

Luke Donald - Made more of an effort to gain points on the European Circuit out of the Four who play most on the PGA Tour. A very succesful spell it was too. A first, second and third in three weeks is a incredible level on consistancy. The third place was at Celtic Manor too. He may not be the longest of hitters but he is incredibly straight and holes vital putts when needed which is a must for the Ryder Cup. Excellent foursomes partner.

Paul Casey - Not the greatest of season for Casey in terms of wins and finishes but the reason he is in is his excellent MatchPlay record which in my opinion you either have or haven't. He is long and his Iron play when on his day rivals the best. The ability to score very low when hot, comes into the occasion also.

Edoardo Molinari - Maybe a shock for some but this guy has to be in the team for me. Here's why: A win at Loch Lomond, top-five finish at the Welsh Open at CM, all cuts made in majors this season, in the world's top 25, 6th on the world points list, will be at Gleneagles which was Monty's wish, and not forgetting a win at the World Cup with his Brother who is on the team and an automatic fourball and foursome's partnership. Need I say more.

Will be interesting to see who you will go for?

I think I can't pick anyone until I know who's there.

Will Westwood be fit?

Who will be my first 9?

Need to think about pairings too. Give me until Monday, after Gleneagles.

if it stayed as it is right now with the top 9

my picks would be

padraig harrington

edoardo molinari

alvaro quiros

I think Justin has made his intentions clear by saying he's not playing in the Johnny Walker as he is more focused on winning the FedEx (he's 3rd I think).

I suppose if he wins the £10mill prize fund will be enough to avoid the disappointment of missing out on the Ryder Cup

My picks would be

Paul Casey

Eduardo Molinari

Martin Millichip

The last one for getting down to his lowest handicap ever of 6.4 at the weekend !!!!!!

Well done Martin, your loss is my gain at the Final

Skill overcomes shots lefty (Unless you have your horse with you) !!!!!!!

 Well done Martin.

If I was in Monty's shoes this morning.

In would be Eduardo Molinari to play with his brother in the Fourball and Foursomes.

Jimenez and Donald have both done enough for their Captain so should be In. This makes Donald a PICK.

Then I would bring in Casey as a partner for Poulter.

Sorry for both Harrington & Rose who would miss out, but I would have Harrington as 13th Man (depending on Westwoods fitness). Justin plays in the US full time now and the Match is in Wales and when he does come to the UK he hasn't done too well recently.
