McGinley ponders wildcard decision

European Ryder Cup skipper Paul McGinley will wait until May’s BMW PGA at Wentworth before announcing possible changes to the qualifying system for the 2014 clash with Tom Watson’s USA at Gleneagles.

Veteran Watson announced yesterday he is reducing the number of American wildcards from four to three and while it is highly probable McGinley will go the other way and increase Europe’s from two to three, he wants to examine all his options before making any changes.

“I don’t know what Tom’s reasons were for going from four picks to three but I’m sure they were good ones,” McGinley said. “All I know is that it is going to be a very formidable US team, no matter what way it is set out.
