Monty issues Ryder warning

EVERY European star basing himself in the United States — and that includes Rory McIlroy again next season — runs the risk of not making the Ryder Cup.

That was the warning last night from Colin Montgomerie a week before the qualifying race starts in Switzerland.

Montgomerie found leaving out world number nine Paul Casey last year the hardest thing he had to do as captain — and he hopes his successor Jose Maria Olazabal does not face the same dilemma next August.
