He won, that makes him British, I mean that in the best possible way as "British" usually means absolutely nothing nowadays.

I'm a tennis fan and you have to prise me away from the telly in Wimbledon fortnight.

Andy Murray joked about that once, when someone said "Are you Scottish or British" and he replied "That depends if i win or not"

Wimbledon was great this year Luds, i really enjoyed it.

I knew i could rely on Ryder Cup Captain Darren Clarke to pick three great players in his wildcard selection for next month's tournament and he hasn't let me down!!

Way to go Daz!!

Russell Knox 'let his Ryder Cup moment slip'

Russell Knox 'let his Ryder Cup moment slip'

Darren Clarke is a twat, picking those players over Russell Knox!!

Russel Knox is ranked 20th in the world, Lee Westwood is ranked in 46th place and Martin Keymar is in 50th place FFS!!

Clarke claims he picked Westwood because of his Ryder Cup experience, ignoring the fact Westwood hasn't won a game for years!!

You won't catch me, supporting Europe!!

Quite frankly, If Knox was that desperate to play in the Ryder Cup he would have joined the European Tour (mandatory) earlier than he did and auto qualified. He is obviously more than capable of doing so or he wouldn't be ranked so high. Instead he chased the big bucks on offer on the US PGA Tour and relied on Clarke picking him.

Westwood and Keymar were always going to be 2 of the wild card picks. There were already 5 rookies picked. They need the experience. If it turns out to be the wrong decision then I'm sure Clarke will be big and bold enough to stand up and say he was wrong.

You won't catch me, supporting Europe!!

Sad, but predictable

If it was experience he was after, then he should have given Colin Montgomire a bell.

After all, he has more experience than anyone.

It's the old pals act at work here, that's why Westwood got the nod.

Clarke's decision will cost Europe victory next month and if i choose not to lend my support to his ridiculous selection, i won't.

So stop shaking your head.

I watched the end of the Triathlon World Series in Edmonton last night after the Scotland game.

Britain's Jonathan Brownlee won it and he was very impressive.
