LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Fan favourite Andrew Johnston has played down his chances of gaining a wildcard selection for next month's Ryder Cup, the bearded Englishman saying he would not pick himself if he was captain of Europe's team.
The idiosyncratic Johnston won a host of new admirers around the world for the smiling way he interacted with the galleries while finishing eighth in last month's British Open at Troon.
The 27-year-old won his first European Tour event at the Spanish Open in April and has rocketed from 220th in the world rankings at the end of last year to number 89.
