08/29/2010 - Perthshire, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie selected Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald and Edoardo Molinari to round out his team on Sunday.
They joined the nine players who automatically qualified for the European Ryder Cup team -- Lee Westwood, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell, Ross Fisher, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson.
Montgomerie also added Sergio Garcia as his fourth vice captain.
The European captain said if Westwood is unable to play because of injury, Justin Rose will take his place. Rose, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour this season, was among the players left off the team.
Among the other snubs were world No. 9 Paul Casey and 2004 captain European Ryder Cup captain Bernhard Langer, who has won four times on the Champions Tour this year, including back-to-back senior majors.
Harrington is a three-time major champion and has played in every Ryder Cup since his debut at Brookline in 1999. The Irishman had never been a captain's pick until this year as the world No. 18 narrowly missed an automatic spot.
He is 7-11-4 is his five previous Ryder Cups, but only owns a winning record in singles. He has a slew of top-10s around the world in 2010, but has yet to win.
Harrington has missed the cut in three of four majors this season as well as at The Players Championship. His only made cut in a major was at the U.S. Open, where he shared 22nd.
Donald will be playing in his third Ryder Cup after missing the 2008 edition. The Englishman was a captain's pick by Bernhard Langer in 2004 and owns a spectacular 5-1-1 record, including a 4-0 mark in foursomes.
He had a spectacular summer run where he won the Madrid Masters and posted top-three finishes at BMW PGA Championship and Wales Open, which was played at the Ryder Cup venue, Celtic Manor.
The world No. 10 also has enjoyed a fine season on the PGA Tour. He finished second at the Northern Trust Open, shared ninth at the Match Play Championship, tied for third at the Heritage and took solo third at the Canadian Open.
Edoardo Molinari joined his brother Francesco on the team. They are the third set of brothers to play on the same European Ryder Cup team.
The last two brothers to play together were Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt in 1963. Both Molinaris are Ryder Cup rookies.
Edoardo collected his second European Tour victory on Sunday, winning the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles by a single stroke over Brett Rumford. He also won this year's Scottish Open and has four other top-four finishes in the 2010 campaign.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
