Poor start for Ryder Cup wildcard Gallacher

Stephen Gallacher's Ryder Cup preparations looked set to come to an early end as he headed for a missed cut in the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor.

Gallacher has not played competitively since coming agonisingly close to sealing an automatic place on the European team for Gleneagles before being named as one of captain Paul McGinley's three wildcards.
