Just the tonic for McGinley

WANTED by Paul McGinley - €350,000 over the next four weeks from two tournaments in the US and two more in Europe.

If he achieves it, then the hero of Ryder Cup 2002 will make his presence felt once again, at Oakland Hills on September 17-19.

The 37 years-old Dubliner received the boost he needed yesterday when the all-important invitation to next week's US PGA Championship in Wisconsin was forthcoming. Even though he is again troubled by a knee injury, there was a new bounce in McGinley's step as he looked forward to contesting this week's KLM Dutch Open, the PGA, the NEC World Golf Championship and the decisive BMW International in Munich at the very end of August.
