Ryder Cup Permutations. Westy, Donald, Poulter, Jimenez & Maybe GMac? McGinley Can Only Pick Three

I'm just wondering if Paul McGinley is privately a bit worried the way his three wildcard picks for Team Europe in the Ryder Cup is panning out.

With Jamie Donaldson securing his place on the team at the Czech Open, one more heavyweight has been knocked out of the equation and another may be eliminated this week.

With the Deutsche Bank finishing Monday and thus past the European qualifying deadline, no European US based players in the Playoffs can now play their way into the team.

In fact only Stephen Gallacher can now make the team automatically. If he wins or comes second at the Italian Open he will secure his spot and give Paul McGinley an almighty headache.

Should Gallacher qualify he will knock GMac out the last qualifying spot on the World Points List.

That would then leave McGinners having to choose three players from a list of Ryder Cup heroes including GMac, Lee Westwood, Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

If it does pan out this way, you would have to think McGinley would have GMac as his first pick, his countryman is in form and was a winner in France.  Second would have to be Mr Ryder Cup Ian Poulter; regardless of his form it's unthinkable to have a European Team without him.

That would leave Westwood, Donald and Jimenez vying for the last automatic pick.

And if Gallacher does not make the team automatically this weekend, McGinley will most likely still have to choose one from The Scot, Donald and Jimenez

 I'm just glad I'm not the Captain!

Here are the points as they stand.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
