McGinley stays on course

Paul McGinley’s love/hate relationship with the PGA Centenary course continued with Europe’s Ryder Cup captain delighted to make the cut in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

McGinley added a second round 71 for a five-under-par tally and also end a run of having missed the weekend rounds in his last two appearances on the course where in 13 months he will lead Europe into competition against the US.

It left McGinley trailing nine strokes behind 43-year old Argentinean Ricardo Gonzalez, who signed for a second straight 65 to lead the event by one stroke on 14 under par.
