They grilled her on the Golf Channel tonight, good points they made though, shes gotta win multiple times on tour not just make cuts to compete in the cup. They also said she should win on her own tour before thinking about this, its way to early to be talking of the ryder cup

She is struggling to break 40 on the front nine which includes three drivable par fours, and will struggle to make the cut in a weak European event.

Well, I think Ilonen (yeah, he´s a Finn) got a wild card, either from the Open Championship (T16 if I remember correctly) or the BMW International.

Wie will never make the Ryder Cup Team because she doesnt meet the chief requirement which is a win on the PGA! As was pointed out on the Golf Channel the other night, the only way she will get on the team is if her father is the team captain and she is one of his picks.

As she descends to 5 over after 11, spare a thought for Nick Dougherty, a promising young player who has also descended to 5 over. It can not be easy being drawn with a circus act.

This ***** - I'm watching the live coverage, well, the "live" coverage, on the golf channel, and they don't even have her out on the course yet. Now I know her scores through 11. My fault for looking, but I think my prediction for her this week will be easily under what she'll do...

Well I've always respected and often shared Rodney's views here... but "never heard of Nancy Lopez" ?? I may have to revisit my opinions. She revitalized Woman's golf (48 wins & a HOFer, often playing part time while raising a family) and I think she's still shy of 50 years old... that's akin to saying you've never heard of Tom Watson. That one's going to stick Rodney.

I think she should worry about the Solheim Cup team first.

I doubt she will ever play a Ryder cup.
