Colin Montgomerie, faced with arguably the most difficult decision any Captain has had regarding wild cards, has named Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald and HSPSE pupil Edoardo Molinari as the three men to complete his line-up.

They join automatic qualifiers Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy, Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter, Francesco Molinari, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Peter Hanson and fellow HSPSE pupil Ross Fisher in Europe's Ryder Cup Team.

Montgomerie was left with five players in the Official World Golf Ranking Top 22 chasing a pick.

No brothers have played in the same match since Bernhard and Geoff Hunt in 1963 and Edoardo Molinari piled on the pressure with a three-birdie finish to win the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in dramatic fashion.

Edoardo earnt his place, alongside his brother Francesco, on the back their Omega Mission Hills World Cup victory together. along with personal victories in the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan and the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond - as well as coming second to Ernie Els in the US PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational.

After announcing that Sergio Garcia will join the team as a fourth Vice Captain, Montgomerie had high praise for Edoardo sensatinoal performance at Gleneagles.

"Edoardo Molinari, what can one say about his performance today?"In my time on the European Tour, over 24 years, I have never seen a finish like that. All credit to him, having to win and doing just that." "What Edoardo Molinari did this week was incredible, he is the kind of player we need to regain The Ryder Cup. "Since my day - I was a Ryder Cup rookie in 1991 - I don't think any Captain has had the difficulty I have had today picking three from a possible ten.

"It has been fraught in so many ways but watching Edoardo birdie the last three holes, he has made our job very easy for us with his performance today."
