Paul Lawrie announced this week that he'll forego a spot in the U.S. Open to focus on accumulating points for a berth into the Ryder Cup.
"I am not going to play the Nordea Masters in Sweden the week before the U.S. Open either because there is a long run of events after that and if I am to miss an event on the schedule then it is the US Open," the Scot said. "My record in the U.S. Open is not good and I understand that it is a major but I feel I have more chance of playing well at the BMW International Open the week after the U.S. Open. ... I know people are going to be surprised when they learn this but I stand more chance of earning Ryder Cup points at the BMW in Cologne than in the U.S. Open. ... It’s a decision I had been thinking about for a long time but if you know you can’t compete in a particular tournament then why go? It’s a big call and a lot of people are going to say I should be playing but you have to do what you feel is best. My goal right now is to make the Ryder Cup team so I have to set in place a schedule where I feel I can earn the most Ryder Cup points." May 3 - 2:55 PM
