Ian Woosnam claims that Paul McGinley was right to leave Luke Donald out of the European Ryder Cup team.

Ian Woosnam has claimed that European captain Paul McGinley was right to leave Luke Donald out of his team for the Ryder Cup.

There were suggestions that McGinley would hand a wildcard to Donald, who has struggled for form this season, but Woosnam believes that the skipper had no choice but to leave out the former world number one.

"It is a shame you have to leave out someone like Luke Donald but that is how it goes, I don't think he's holed enough putts all year to warrant a pick," the 56-year-old, who captained Europe in 2006, told reporters.

"A captain has to get it into their heads quickly that they are all there to win the Ryder Cup.

"All they are is team members, nothing else. You are all as equal as each other, it doesn't matter who wins the points as long as we win as a team."

Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Stephen Gallacher were handed wildcards ahead of Donald.
