McGinley tipped to get Wentworth invite

Paul McGinley's fine weekend performance has put him in line for a shot at £1m (€1.47m) - the richest prize in golf – at the HSBC world match play championship at Wentworth next month.

Two places are on offer off the European Order of Merit after this week’s event in Germany and by finishing third at the NEC world championship last night, the Ryder Cup star is odds-on to take a spot.
