Langer may have found loophole for Ryder Cup outcasts on US Tour

CAPTAIN Bernhard Langer yesterday discovered a possible loophole that might keep Jesper Parnevik and Luke Donald in Ryder Cup contention.

Langer, a member of the European tour for 28 years, found out you do not actually have to play in a major for it to count as one of the 11 tour events needed for cup eligibility: entering the qualifying competition is enough.

Parnevik and Donald and Carl Pettersson and Mathias Gronberg have counted themselves out of this September's match.
