FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE
United States Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson has reduced his number of wild card picks for next year's contest at Gleneagles from four to three.
United States Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson has reduced his number of wild card picks for next year's contest at Gleneagles from four to three.
The 63-year-old took up the captaincy in December and has been charged with
the task of building a team to try and wrestle the title away from Europe,
who recorded an astonishing win at Medinah Country Club last year.
"There's not a lot of method in my madness but I think the players ought to
have another shot of getting on the team by merit," Watson said.
"I will use all possible resources in choosing these three captain's choices
to complete the best possible team in order to win the cup back for the
United States."
Paul Azinger was the first US captain to have four picks in 2008 and is also
the last to taste success after his side won by five points at Valhalla.
Opposite number Nick Faldo had two wild cards - Ian Poulter and Paul Casey -
while 2010 European captain Colin Montgomerie opted for three wild cards and
2012 captain Jose Maria Olazabal chose just two.
