Stricker in contention for US Ryder Cup team

United States captain Tom Watson has confirmed that Steve Stricker is being considered for a Ryder Cup wild card, despite already being chosen as a vice-captain.

Watson joked on Monday that he had told Stricker to take his clubs to Gleneagles after the 47-year-old finished joint seventh in the US PGA Championship, just four days after joining Andy North and Ray Floyd on Watson’s backroom staff.
