RYDER CUP HEROES MISS THE CUT AT WENTWORTH

Two-time defending champion Luke Donald and Ryder Cup team-mate Ian Poulter missed the cut today  at the BMW PGA Championship.
So too did World No 2 Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Paul Lawrie.
Donald (72) was six-over-par overall after two rounds in the cold and rain at Wentworth.
Donald's round of 78 Thursday was Donald's worst at Wentworth by four shots.
Poulter (76) is planning to make the most of his free weekend, going to the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.
With the cut being  146 and better qualified, McIlroy and McDowell were out with identical rounds of 74 and 75 for 149.
Lawrie totalled 147 (75-72). 
The most spectacular fall from grace was that of Scott Henry. Up with the leaders after a first round 68, he required 79 shots to navigate the "Burma Road" at the second attempt and missed the cut by one stroke.
A nightmare outward half of five-over-par 40 was bad enough, but then Henry bogeyed the 10th and double-bogeyed the 11th to be eight over par for his first 11 holes alone.
He did eventually birdied the 12th, 15th and 17th but it was toolittle too late. Further bogeys at the 14th and 16th contributed to a day that will do nothing for the Scot's self-confidence.
Bigger-name Scots who bowed out were Scott Jamieson (73-76) and Stephen Gallacher (76-73), both on 149.

But well after 8pm Banchory's Greig Hutcheon, pictured right, battled his way into the weekend action. After bogeys at the first, second, third and eight, he turned in four-over-par 35 and he looked on his way out of the tournament.
But Hutch, the Tartan Tour supremo last season, rallied to birdie the long 12th, the short 14th, and, after his only bogey of the inward half, at the 15th, Greig birdied the 17th and parred the treacherous par 5 18th for a 74. Coupled to his first-day 72, that meant Hutcheon had made the cut right on the limif of 146. Well done, Greig!
Francesco Molinari (68) posted the clubhouse target of 138 early in the day but it stood up virtually unchallenged through many more hours' play.
South African James Kingston, who had been the overnight leader with a 66, lost his touch completely and posted a 77 for 143, the same mark as the trouble Sergio Garcia.
