Harrington’s Ryder wild card in doubt

THE bush telegraph was humming in the Scottish Highlands last night with speculation increasing that Pádraig Harrington could miss out on a Ryder Cup “wild card” pick.

Irishman Peter Lawrie has known Harrington since both were outstanding amateurs back in the early to mid-90s; and he claimed last night that the word among the players was far from favourable where Harrington’s team prospects are concerned.

“If it was me, I would pick Pádraig but there are an awful lot of rumours going around that he is not going to be picked,” said Lawrie.
