Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke announced England's Lee Westwood, Germany's Martin Kaymer and Thomas Pieters of Belgium as his three wildcards on Tuesday. With rookies taking up five of the nine automatic qualifying places, Clarke had been expected to turn to experienced Ryder Cup campaigners Westwood and Kaymer. Pieters, 34, was picked ahead of Scotland's Russell Knox, having bolstered his case for inclusion with a stunning opening round of 62 alongside Clarke at last week's Made in Denmark tournament.
