Betting suspended on Donald as Ryder Cup pick

Bookmaker William Hill suspended any action on Luke Donald Monday after his odds dropped from 5/2 to 1/100 on being named as one of the captain’s picks for the European Ryder Cup team.

According to Bunkered (UK) magazine, Donald’s odds fell from 5/2 to 2/1 to 6/4 and then, at about 2 p.m. local time, 1/100. The reason for the drop is not immediately known, but it suggests that he could be in line for one of captain Darren Clarke's three picks.

Adding Donald to the 12-man roster would be a stunning decision for Clarke, even though the European skipper has repeatedly expressed a preference for experience.
