LONDON (Reuters) - Former world number one Lee Westwood breathed a huge sigh of relief after being handed a wildcard pick by Europe captain Paul McGinley for this month's Ryder Cup against the United States.

The 41-year-old Englishman will be making his ninth consecutive appearance in the biennial team event and only three Europeans have played in more Ryder Cups - Nick Faldo (11), Bernhard Langer (10) and Christy O'Connor senior (10).
