Langer discovers Ryder Cup loophole

Captain Bernhard Langer today discovered something that might have kept Jesper Parnevik and Luke Donald in Ryder Cup contention.

Langer, a member of the European tour for 28 years, found out that you do not actually have to play in a major for it to count as one of the 11 tour events needed for cup eligibility. Entering the qualifying competition is enough.
