Irish golfer Padraig Harrington gets place in European Ryder Cup  Irish golfer Padraig Harrington became the eighth player to confirm a place in Europe's Ryder Cup team, however, compatriot Paul McGinley has to wait to see if he gets in.
Padraig Harrington's place is definite because he cannot be beaten in the standings after Paul McGinley missed the cut at the BMW International in Germany.
Paul McGinley, 39, and 10th in the points race, shot a 72 to finish three over and now he must hope no-one edges past him in the rankings.
"It will be extraordinary if I don't make it," said Paul McGinley.
"It looks like there's tension, but honestly I don't feel it. I'm just not playing well.
"Two years ago there was a lot more pressure (it went to the final hole before he sealed his spot) and I came through it. I've lost confidence and I've got to sort it out," Paul McGinley added.
In the meantime Padraig Harrington moved to five under after a second round of 70 and so he joins David Howell, Paul Casey, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Colin Mongomerie and uncapped pair Henrik Stenson and Robert Karlsson in Ian Woosnam's team for the K Club from 22-24 September.
