Justin Rose likely to miss Ryder Cup?

Question

The Englishman was a solid performer two years ago - why might he miss this year's event?

Answer 1

Rose has slipped down the world rankings in the last two years - his current position of 67th in the world means he has already missed out on the Masters this year, and he currently is not guaranteed to play the US Open or the Open, meaning a place on the Ryder Cup team may have to come from one of Monty's wild card pics - assuming Monty thinks Rose is worth taking.
