Matt Wallace Left Off Europe’s Ryder Cup Team After European Masters Near-Miss

Luke Donald finalized his six captain’s picks without Wallace, confirming he will miss out on a Ryder Cup debut.

Overview

  • Wallace finished tied for second at the Omega European Masters, two shots behind winner Thriston Lawrence after surrendering a late two-shot lead.
  • A mistake on the 14th hole proved costly as Wallace’s bid for victory—and a stronger case for selection—slipped away down the stretch.
  • He ended the qualification campaign ranked 12th, outside the automatic top six places for Team Europe.
  • Following Donald’s selections, Wallace congratulated the squad and said he would be watching and supporting, reiterating, “I’ll never give up on the Ryder Cup.”
  • The 35-year-old remains in pursuit of his first Ryder Cup appearance after also missing out as a captain’s pick in 2018.
