Top Six Turn Down Chance To Play In Seve Trophy

Posted on September 25, 2013 by | Comments Off on Top Six Turn Down Chance To Play In Seve Trophy

Next week see’s the Seve Trophy get under way yet again, this time in Versailles. Unfortunately the top six qualifiers for the Great Britain & Ireland team have turned down the chance to play.

This is a big blow for the Great Britain and Ireland team who have won the event six times in a row and were bidding to make it seven against a team captained by Seve’s close friend Jose Maria Olazabal.

This event is also a chance for the Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley to look at players ahead of the Ryder Cup in September next year and see what they can do.

McGinley said he isn’t worried about the top six not taking part as he knows what they are capable of already.

I think it’s wrong of these players not taking part in an an event started by Seve a while ago now, and they should respect what he has personally done for European golf and the Ryder Cup.

Bjorn Again In The Ryder Cup?

Posted on September 10, 2013 by | Comments Off on Bjorn Again In The Ryder Cup?

Thomas Bjorn has been in a rich vain of form recently and after his win at the European Masters in Switzerland at the weekend he has propelled himself to the top of the European Ryder Cup points list. 

Although he’s  been playing well, it was his first win since he won the same event two years ago and the 14th of his career.

Former peers have been taking notice and Northern Irishman Darren Clarke has tipped him to make the team at Gleneagles next September .

Bjorn has been involved in many Ryder Cup over the years, not only as a player but as a vice captain as well, but he will want to be teeing it up as a player next time round for sure. I mean, who wouldn’t?

Gallacher Aiming For Ryder Cup Spot On Home Turf

Posted on June 3, 2013 by | Comments Off on Gallacher Aiming For Ryder Cup Spot On Home Turf

Although the Ryder Cup is well over a year away, it’s in the thoughts of many people already and will continue to be for the next 12 months as the European players battle it out in the Ryder Cup Standings.

Stephen Gallacher is one of the players keen to make the team this time round and admits he would relish the chance of playing the prestigious event in his home country Scotland.

Gallacher’s family have a history in the Ryder Cup as his uncle Bernard has captained the side three times but unfortunately only winning once. That victory came at Oak Hill in America which saw the memorable scenes of Seve and Nick Faldo hugging and crying on the 18th green after Phillip Walton saw off Jay Hass in the penultimate group.

Gallacher is going to have to play extremely well if he is to make the team at Gleneagles as there are some players who will equally want to play their part. I think at best he will have to rely on a captains pick from Paul McGinley.
