McGinley says Gleneagles will guide Ryder picks

Paul McGinley has strongly hinted his three European Team wildcard picks could very well go to those who play well this weekend at Gleneagles, the host venue for this week’s Johnnie Walker Championship.

The PGA Centenary course will also play host to the 2014 Ryder Cup in 13 months. However just two members of last year’s victorious European team will tee up today.

They are defending Johnnie Walker champion, Paul Lawrie, and his ‘Medinah Miracle’ team-mate, Italy’s Francesco Molinari, who enjoyed four top 10s in seven appearances.
