The Johnny Walker Championship at Gleneaglesis the final event European players can garner much needed Ryder Cup points and with a win under their belt, they will be sure to impress captain, Nick Faldo, who has some tricky decisions to make before the showdown at Valhalla.
There are a couple of young fellows who will be feeling the heat right now, knowing they only have the one last gasp to claim a coveted Ryder Cup cap and they are Oliver Wilson, Nick Dougherty, Ross Fisher and Martin Kaymer.
Wilson, a 27-year-old Englishman, has yet to win a title but he is, nevertheless, sitting in the 10th and final automatic spot and unless he misses the cut at Gleneagles, he is more than likely the man Faldo will turn to.
Dougherty or Fisher could get the Nod
Brit, Nick Dougherty, is currently ranked 38th on the European Tour but he did impress at the recent SAS Masters where he finished tied 2nd. Ross Fisher, another in a long line of very talented young Englishmen who have recently joned the tour, is in the top ten on the ranking table at number 9 and he will have raised some eyebrows with his win at the European Open, followed bya top twenty finish at the KLM Open!
Kaymer Close to a Cap
Germany’s Martin Kaymer is another young man with oodles of talent. He has already pulled off two stunning victories this year - the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and the BMW International Open - is ranked 12th and will hopefully be in top form in Scotland from tomorrow.
Irish bookmaker, boylesports, is clearly not impressed by the Ryder Cup hopefuls and is offering the following odds for an outright win at Gleneagles - Ross Fisher 33/1; Martin Kaymer 33/1; Nick Dougherty 40/1 and Oliver Wilson 50/1.
