Marc Warren’s ended an injury-plagued run of outs to be assured of only a second pay cheque this season in making the halfway cut at the BMW International Open in Munich. Warren, 40, posted scores of 68 and 71 to move to five-under par on the rain-softened Munich Golf Club course in the Bavarian capital.

Graeme McDowell has spoken of his pride in being appointed by fellow Irishman Padraig Harrington as a 2021 Ryder Cup vice-captain and labelling Harrington as one of the ‘most decorated players in Europe’. McDowell has been chosen by Harrington along with double major winning German Martin Kaymer ahead of this September’s Wisconsin showdown and with McDowell’s appointment clearly another step closer to being appointed as the 2027 European captain for Adare Manor.

It comes as no surprise Graeme McDowell has been named as a 2021 European Ryder Cup captain whereas it is a surprise double major winning Martin Kaymer will join Padraig Harrington’s Whistling Straits support staff. Both McDowell and Kaymer have written their names into Ryder Cup folklore with McDowell holing the winning putt at the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales and then two years later, it was Kaymer who holed the victory putt at the ‘Miracle of Medinah. McDowell, as Harrington revealed, ...
