Lee Westwood Hints He Has Already Been Told He Has Secured A Ryder Cup Captain's Pick

I really do hope this was just a slip of the tongue by Lee Westwood or just a bit of presumptuous confidence.

Lee told the US media after being eliminated from the Playoffs and missing out on automatic qualification for the European Team....

“Off until the Ryder Cup.  After that, I don’t know.”

Has Lee already been assured by Paul McGinley that he secured a Captain's Pick for the Gleneagles showpiece next month?

It's hard to think of a Ryder Cup without Lee but would Paul narrow his options by telling a player he already has a pick so early? And where might that leave Luke Donald and Ian Poulter who are in the same boat as Lee and also decorated heroes? Have they been told anything?

And then there's the likes of Miguel Angel Jimenez, Stephen Gallacher, Joost Luiten and Francesco Molinari who ply their trade and have shown allegiance to the European Tour where others have scarpered. Is one pick being kept for any of these?

And one more thing, if Stephen Gallacher does make the team automatically by winning or coming second in Italy that would leave GMac also looking for one of those picks.

Oh dear, if I was Paul I wouldn't be sayin' nothin' to nobody!
