The 2010 Ryder Cup is drawing ever closer and the race to secure qualification for both the European and American sides is now underway.

The Celtic Manor resort in Wales will host the eagerly-anticipated match with Colin Montgomerie captaining Europe and Corey Pavin skippering the US team.

Montgomerie will lead a European side desperate to put the record straight after their defeat at Valhalla in 2008.
