Pieters to join Westwood, Kaymer as Ryder Cup picks

Thomas Pieters is set to become one of European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke’s three wildcard picks.

The 24-year-old Belgian, who won for the third time in the past 12 months Sunday, will join veterans Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer in filling out the 12-man roster, Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte reported Monday, citing an anonymous source.

An official announcement will be made at 7:30 a.m. ET Tuesday and air live on Golf Channel.

The addition of Pieters means that the Europeans will bring six rookies to Hazeltine.
