COVENTRY, England (Reuters) - Europe captain Darren Clarke should select Francesco Molinari as one of his three wildcard choices for the Ryder Cup because of his almost metronomic driving accuracy, according to Costantino Rocca.
Rocca, who featured in the biennial team event in 1993, 1995 and 1997, believes fellow Italian Molinari would be a dream match play partner for any of the European players when the holders take on the United States at Hazeltine, Minnesota in September.
"If I was the captain I would give Francesco a wildcard pick," the burly 59-year-old told Reuters in an interview while competing in this week's Farmfoods British Par-3 Championship at Nailcote Hall near Coventry.
