Captain McGinley Still Planning To Pair Rory And GMac...

Talking to writers before the ISPS Handa Wales Open, European Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley downplayed the latest revelations in the McIlroy-Horizon case where even the judge is suggesting Graeme McDowell has been dragged into the proceedings to the point mediation should be employed.

Phil Casey reports that McGinley says the case tension is not a concern.

"Rory's had arguably his best year ever (winning two major championships) and Graeme won the French Open. It has not affected their performance and both of them have assured me it's not going to affect anything in the team room.

"I would be very surprised if they don't play together although I'm not going to write it in stone."
