McDowell needs big finish in Madrid

Graeme McDowell will need one of the lowest final rounds of his career today if he is to end his two-year victory drought and make a significant move in the race to retain his Ryder Cup place.

The 30-year old from Portrush, who is more than €400,000 outside the nine automatic places in Colin Montgomerie’s European team, posted a frustrating two-under par 70 on moving day in the Madrid Masters to go into the final round six shots behind leaders Luke Donald and Rhys Davies on 10 under par.
