- Austrian needs top-50 finish in PGA Championship to seal place
- Shane Lowry and Lee Westwood still in complex battle for spots
We can only hope the Ryder Cup itself proves half as exciting as the battle to earn the final places in Padraig Harrington’s European team, if a bit less complex.
So much will be determined by 18 holes over the west course at Wentworth; which for all the sniping around that scenario is precisely how Harrington designed it. Neutral observers can enjoy the closing round of the PGA Championship safe in the knowledge there is another, fascinating game in play. Every shot and every leaderboard shuffle matters for those hoping to book a place at Whistling Straits on Monday week.
