Colin Montgomerie better have a good pasta chef employed for the Ryder Cup because Italian Francesco Molinari looks nailed on to be an automatic selection for the European side. Molinari has been on the fringes of Ryder Cup contention since he and his brother Edoardo pulled off a shock victory at golf's World Cup back in November and with six British and Irish players almost certain to be in the team he may one of just three other nationalities in the side.Full name Francesco Molinari

Francesco Molinari was born in Turin, Italy, and like his brother Edoardo has one European Tour win which came at the 2006 Telecom Italia Open. His consistent swing is admired by many and has lead him to seven top ten finishes on the European Tour this season. Francesco is in the top-10 in the statistics for driving accuracy and greens in regulation but the weak part of Francesco’s game is his putting; he recently changed from a belly putter to conventional length but languishes at 107th in the putts per greens in regulation statistics. Could the golfing gods be cruel enough to leave Francesco a six footer for victory at Celtic Manor?
