McGinley can narrow gap in Ryder race

ALTHOUGH disappointed at failing to make the best of the favourable early morning conditions, Paul McGinley goes into the final two rounds of the US PGA at Whistling Straits on one under par.

He is now in a position to improve his prospects of playing himself into the top ten in the European Ryder Cup points list in a fortnight’s time.

McGinley, who stands one under par for 36 holes after yesterday’s 74, admitted he didn’t play as well as on Thursday, but maintained the course was also playing a lot tougher.
