Woosie delights in form of Stenson, Dougherty

IAN WOOSNAM believes there are good reasons to be cheerful in this Ryder Cup year. The European team captain has been delighted by the form of Henrik Stenson and Nick Dougherty.

Swedish star Stenson finished tied third in the Players' Championship at Sawgrass and heads the Ryder Cup world points list.

Dougherty came fourth in the TCL Classic after being runner-up at the Indonesian Open. He will be closely scrutinised by Woosnam in the next few days as both men are taking part in the Portugal Open, which starts today.
