Watson: In-form Horschel did not deserve Ryder Cup nod


(Reuters) - United States captain Tom Watson said on Wednesday he has no issue with the deadline for making wildcard picks even though his team at next week's Ryder Cup in Scotland will not include the game's hottest player.

Billy Horschel was runner-up in the second of four playoff events on the U.S. circuit a day before Watson made his wildcard picks and then went on to triumph at the next two tournaments to secure FedExCup honours and the $10 million (6.14 million pound) jackpot.
