Ryder Cup hospitality tickets news: Wales Open 'key to selection'
02/06/2010
Colin Montgomerie has said this week's Wales Open could have a major impact on deciding who gets to play in front of people with Ryder Cup hospitality tickets later this year.
The tournament gets underway tomorrow (May 3rd 2010) and takes place at the Celtic Manor Resort, the same course on which the Ryder Cup will be contested in October.
As a result, Monty - who will captain the European team in the clash against the US - stated that enjoying success at the Wales Open may improve a player's chances of being selected to the team which will be watched by fans with Ryder Cup hospitality tickets.
"If I was a potential player for the team I would be putting a big emphasis on this event," he commented. "Say a European wins this tournament by ten shots, it is a big tick in the column for him."
The likes of Miguel Angel Jimenez, Martin Kaymer and Robert Karlsson have all confirmed they will be competing in the Wales Open.
