Qualifying for the 2010 European Ryder Cup team doesn't start until next week but captain Colin Montgomerie has already written down the 12 names most likely to make up his side at Celtic Manor. Of course, they are only written in pencil at the moment and the piece of paper has been tucked away for safe keeping. And Monty is as intrigued as anyone as to what the make up of his team will be and is more than happy to join the guessing game about to be played by so many European golf fans. Naturally he is keeping his thoughts to himself, but it is fascinating to think that he has already identified a "dream-team" dozen that he'd like for Europe's quest to wrest back the trophy from the United States. "A number of people do this before qualification starts," Montgomerie said ahead of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. This is the event next year where the team to play in Wales is finalised. "I've pencilled 12 names and I've put it in a drawer at home. It'll be interesting to see how close the team come to that particular twelve. There are a few rookies in that team, yes. But, hey, that's the team as it stands right now. It's amazing how a year is a long time in any sport. "I think it's a great opportunity for everybody to start from scratch next week in Switzerland (at the European Masters). I can speak from personal experience, the Ryder Cup is a fantastic atmosphere."
