McGinley boosts Ryder Cup hopes

Paul McGinley boosted his Ryder Cup hopes in the early holes at Gleneagles today as he played his first 12 holes of the Diageo Championship in four under par to be only one behind early leader Nick O’Hern, of Australia.

McGinley, the match-winning hero of the 2002 match, underwent knee surgery this spring after finishing second to Mark O’Meara in the Dubai Desert Classic.
