Euro aces placed on cup alert

RYDER Cup captain Nick Faldo has warned his players they cannot afford to ease up even if they think they are already assured of a place in his team.
The likes of Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Robert Karlsson all look set to feature against America at Valhalla in Kentucky in September.
That would leave seven spots remaining – two of which are captain's picks – but with two majors and one World Golf Championship events still to play before the cut-off date of August 31 the standings could change significantly.
And Faldo stressed no-one should be resting on their laurels ahead of him making his final decisions after the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles on August 31.
"We all know in golf as soon as you start counting your chickens you get a swift kick up the backside, so there will be no complacency," said the six-time major winner.
"The team is shaping up, we are already above expectations in terms of qualifying and they will all be playing hard for the next six weeks.
"My picks may not be decided until right up to the close of play as guys who are winning are a very important part of the Ryder Cup."
