well stenson this year has struggled with injuries while sergio garcia, last year's masters championt in the last five major tournaments — so does their experience make it a risk worth taking? earlier i spoke to our golf correspondent iain carter. is it isita is it a risk worth taking? absolutely, that is lord thomas bjorn is thinking. we have five newcomers in this european ryder cup tea m newcomers in this european ryder cup team from the automatic qualifiers. no room to go for inexperience again. garcia is the one that will raise most eyebrows because he has been short of form. missed the cut in allfour been short of form. missed the cut in all four majors, missed a string of cuts and did make it through to the play—offs. thomas is hoping he can find some form to take to paris for this ryder cup. if he does but he believes garcia will be the heartbeat of this team and provide as much influence in the locker room as much influence in the locker room as he does on the course. the two englishman, a year or so ago they would have doubted if they would ever get back into a ryder cup te

alongside henrik stenson up against dustin johnson and brooks alongside henrik stenson up against dustinjohnsond two or three holes left to play. and of course if the united states can pick up an extra point thenit states can pick up an extra point then it would certainly change things somewhat. as we know, no team in ryder cup history has ever come back from more than a four—point deficit heading into the final day of the singles matches to come. that each of the 12 members of the european and american teams play those singles matches. if they could potentially going 10—7, america will feel buoyed by that and it will give them a better chance heading into singles matches to come. it is finely balanced at the moment. europe will feel happier following that victory, winning those three out of four matches in the four balls. they had that incredible clea n swee p balls. they had that incredible clean sweep yesterday afternoon in the foursomes. no european team has ever achieved that in ryder cup history. europe have the momentum. we will keep a close eye on the foursomes matches this afternoon. t

perhaps that's why, his team has been loaded with experience, garcia, poulter, casey and stenson alletting the nod, but he'll be hoping this man in particular can find his form. joe lynskey has been taking a look at this year's selection. the amphitheatre but the —— teens who were those who got best talent alongside those more experienced players, you know what to expect. your get the sport every two years. a players automatically qualify for tea m a players automatically qualify for team europe through their performances in prize money earnings on the european tour throughout the year, the captains, the issue is only three of the names have played in the ryder cup before, that's rory justin and francesco, this european champion the rest of them, are just ryder cup rookies. so at that in mind is perhaps little wonder that the captain has gone for experienced in the four wild—card picks. may not be the best form of their lives but who knows what it takes to be in the ryder cup, this will be ian poulter‘s six ryder cup and the previous five, he is still yet to lose a single match. he's

it includes some big names, henrik stenson, the open champion of 2016, and sergio garcia, who won thevery poor run of form in 2018. ian poulter will also be looking at thomas bjorn‘s decision as well, he is such a passionate player when it comes to the ryder cup in something ofa comes to the ryder cup in something of a master of match play. so bjorn announces that decision on monday. 0ur correspondent gives us his verdict on who might get the call. given the fact that of the eight automatic qualifiers in that european team five of them are first timers, our rockies, i think on that race as he will be looking for experience when he goes for his four wildcard picks. iam experience when he goes for his four wildcard picks. i am expecting ian poulter to get the nod, and paul casey. i think henrik stenson, i think he will get the nod as well, and in that final one is very difficult tojudge. sergio and in that final one is very difficult to judge. sergio garcia has been short of form but has plenty of pedigree, so a difficult choice, i think for thomas bjorn. so decisions to be made for tho

henrik stenson and justin rose combine brilliant and once again to put another point on the board for of this afternoon's sessions with two points of their own. 10—68 is heading into the final day. as we know, no team has ever come back from a margin bigger than that. —— 10-6 from a margin bigger than that. —— 10—6 heading into the final day. the miracle at medina saw europe do it heading in10—6 miracle at medina saw europe do it heading in 10—6 down and america done it in 1999 at brookline when they were trailing by the same deficit but they came back on home soil. a very different proposition if they are too good to do it tomorrow and if they can come out on top in the final singles matches, it will have to be this partisan home crowd in front of them if they are to do it. and they had to be europeans. —— and they have two defeats be europeans. so here's a look at how they'll line up for tomorrows decisive singles matches. justin thomas and rory mcilroy have the earliest alarm — teeing off at five past eleven. tiger woods takes on rookie john rahm as he goes hunting for his first po
