Colin Montgomerie would not want Rory McIlroy facing Tiger Woods in the Ryder Cup singles next Sunday if he was still Europe’s captain.

Corey Pavin would be glued to a clash between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy at the Ryder Cup this week – but he has no wish to pre-arrange it with Colin Montgomerie.

After two of the best days of his career Paul McGinley slumped to his worst score of the year - a seven-over-par 79 - in blustery conditions at Wentworth.
