Graeme McDowell marches towards Ryder Cup with US Open win

22/06/2010

Graeme McDowell is all set to play in front of fans with Ryder Cup corporate tickets later this year after winning the US Open.

The Ulsterman saw off stiff competition from Gregory Havret of France and South Africa's Ernie Els to win the Major tournament by one shot, despite posting a scratchy final round of three over par.

It means people with Ryder Cup corporate tickets will be able to see the 30-year-old in action for Europe as they take on the US between October 1st and 3rd 2010.

Speaking after his dramatic victory, McDowell revealed he was looking forward to celebrating his success at Pebble Beach.

"A few pints of Guinness will probably go down around now," he remarked.

McDowell has previously predicted that Europe will have the edge over their opponents from across the Atlantic when they clash in Newport in the coming months.

"I really think this is the place we will win the Ryder Cup right back," he said.
