Skipper may split Irish stars

All the chatter in the build-up to this week’s clash between Europe and the United States at Gleneagles has centred on whether the Irish duo would still be a good fit, due to McIlroy’s ongoing legal dispute with management firm Horizon, with McDowell’s business relationship with the same company dragged into the claim and counter-claim.
McGinley yesterday dismissed that as a reason not to pick the pair when the 40th Ryder Cup gets underway on Friday but instead suggested they might not be a good golfing fit.
