• García’s 2018 form has been poor but he has experience
• Bjørn to announce his four wild cards on Wednesday
Thomas Bjørn is set to side with experience when naming his captain’s picks for the European Ryder Cup team on Wednesday. Henrik Stenson, Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Sergio García have emerged as the favoured quartet to join Bjørn’s eight automatic qualifiers as Europe look to reclaim the trophy in France at the end of September.
While the selection of Stenson, Casey and Poulter will raise few eyebrows, García’s inclusion, if confirmed, will trigger debate. The Spaniard found himself embroiled in a late battle with his compatriot, Rafael Cabrera Bello, and the in-form Englishman Matt Wallace to reach the European team. Both will have cause to be upset if, as expected, García gets the nod.
