Clarke and Monty for Europe: Harrington

Padraig Harrington would select Darren Clarke as one of his two captain’s picks if he was selecting Europe’s Ryder Cup team – and he would also seriously consider including Colin Montgomerie.

However, the Dubliner acknowledged that there was no guarantee that captain Nick Faldo would see things the same way when he makes his two wild card selections this Sunday to complete his 12-man line-up to take on the Americans in Kentucky.
