To nobody's surprise, Ulstermen Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy are partners and so are Italians Edoardo and Francesco Molinari, the first brothers to play in the Ryder Cup since 1963. Behind them Lee Westwood, returning from seven weeks off with a torn calf muscle, is with US PGA champion Martin Kaymer - the two highest ranked players in the European line-up. They are in a group with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez and Swede Peter Hanson, who might well sit out the opening fourballs on Friday and then come in for the afternoon foursomes as Montgomerie plans to get all 12 of his team into action as quickly as he can. |
