Nick Faldo has made Paul Casey and Ian Poulter his wildcard picks for the European Ryder Cup team, leaving out veterans Darren Clarke and Colin Montgomerie.
It appears to be a case of form winning over experience as Faldo overlooks the men with 13 Ryder Cup appearances between them in favour of the English pair.
Colin Montgomerie has not given up hope of being selected by captain Nick Faldo for Europe's Ryder Cup clash with America next month.
The 45-year-old Scot lies 18th in the European Ryder Cup points list, with no hope of earning an automatic spot for the Valhalla showpiece.
Colin Montgomerie is not happy after being overlooked for an invitation to the year's first major - the US Masters.
The 44-year-old has slipped to 75th in the world rankings and is angry that China's Liang Wen-chong, Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng and Indian Jeev Milkha Singh - all ranked below him - have been selected.
