Euro raiders out in force for USPGA

English trio Steve Webster, Paul Broadhurst and Nick Dougherty – 98th, 99th and 100th in the world – have all been invited to take part in next week’s United States PGA championship at Baltusrol in New Jersey.

The final major of the season traditionally tries to attract as many of the world’s top 100 as possible, but one star who will be missing this year is number three Ernie Els, who underwent knee surgery last week following a sailing holiday accident.
