McGinley delighted by Seve Trophy experience

Paul McGinley declared he now has 20 players better prepared for Ryder Cup selection following the dramatic conclusion to the Seve Trophy at St Nom-la-Breteche yesterday.

Italy’s Francesco Molinari was a European team hero for the second time in 12 months when he birdied the 16th hole to defeat GB & I’s Chris Wood and deliver Jose Maria Olazabal’s side a two-point win for a 15-13 victory.

A year ago, Tiger Woods conceded the overall Medinah winning putt to Molinari.
