10 Justin ROSE 1,272,327.75
(Top five on world points list qualify for team, plus top five on European points list not otherwise qualified from world points list.)
Team as it stands: Harrington, Westwood, Stenson, Karlsson, Jimenez, McDowell, Hansen, Rose, Kaymer, Wilson (plus two
players of Faldo's choice)
As things stand, the likes of Garcia, Poulter and Montgomerie are all looking at trying to get in on a wild card. You'd think that at least one of the first two can push themselves into the automatic spots before the end of qualifying.
Assuming they both do, who are the wild cards likely to be? Is Monty a shoo-in? Is Darren Clarke likely to get a look in? Would I be right in assuming that if either Garcia or Poulter don't make it in automatically they'll almost certainly get a wild card? Surely Garcia at least will be in the team one way or another?
I have to confess I know nothing whatsoever about Hansen, Wilson or Kaymer.
