Glasgow: The year-long quest to win a place in Europe’s 2014 Ryder Cup team starts at this week’s Wales Open and captain Paul McGinley cannot wait for the qualifying process to begin.

“This is another significant milestone in my captaincy and it is going to be an exciting campaign to see who can make the team for Gleneagles next year,” McGinley told the tour website (www.europeantour.com) yesterday.

“There are so many talented players who have the potential to make the team and it will be very interesting for me to watch it evolve.”

Irishman McGinley, who was appointed skipper in January, will compete this week as he keeps an eye on the early contenders for a place in his team for the biennial clash against the United States in Scotland.Reuters
