Chopra gets Ryder Cup all-clear

Swedish golfer Daniel Chopra, who took a two-shot lead into the third round of the Western Open in America today, is still eligible for the Ryder Cup after all, it emerged tonight.

Chopra’s name appears at 49th on the current European world list from which the first five members of Ian Woosnam’s side will be chosen and with 60 points on offer to the winner at Cog Hill he could move right in contention.
