Monty wants Ryder Cup stars at home

EUROPEAN Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie expects everybody still fighting for a Ryder Cup place to be in Scotland rather than America in the last week of qualifying.

Two years ago Ian Poulter caused a furore when he stayed in the States when he still could have got into the side on points by playing at Gleneagles in the Johnnie Walker Championship.

Nick Faldo stuck to his guns by picking Poulter, but whether Montgomerie – one of those who spoke out about the Englishman’s absence – hands anyone a wildcard in the same scenario now remains to be seen.
