McGinley: Ryder place decision not personal

European captain Paul McGinley will leave personal feelings to one side as he weighs up current form against Ryder Cup experience in making his wild card selections tomorrow.

The nine automatic qualifiers for McGinley’s team were confirmed yesterday when Stephen Gallacher narrowly failed to dislodge Graeme McDowell from the side, the Scot finishing one shot outside the tie for second place he needed in the Italian Open.
