Rory McIlroy backs Darren Clarke’s Ryder Cup wild card decisions

“I wouldn’t have liked to be in Darren’s shoes”

Rory McIlroy has backed the decision to have Thomas Pieters in Europe's Ryder Cup golf team, as one of the Darren Clarke’s three wild card picks.

In addition to the widely expected inclusions of Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer, Clarke elected to choose the Belgian following his European Tour win in Denmark last weekend.
