Ryder Cup ‘set to finish on time’

RYDER Cup officials remain optimistic about completing the contest on schedule despite the bad weather which closed the K Club yesterday — and a forecast of more to come.

Winds gusting to more than 40mph saw fans prevented from travelling to the course amid fears for their safety, with several trees brought down around the Palmer Course.

European Tour executive director George O’Grady admitted extending the contest into Monday was always a possibility.
