Colin Montgomerie - wants more wild cards.

Colin Montgomerie is seeking an increase in the number of wild cards he will have for next year’s Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

The European Tour’s players’ committee meets in Ireland on May 12 and Montgomerie wants more than the two captain’s picks that have been the case for the last seven matches.

America won back the trophy last October after their captain Paul Azinger sought and was given four picks, two more than his predecessors.

“I am one vote, but a more powerful one than I was being the captain,” said Montgomerie. “I will put the case forward.”

He did not reveal how many wild cards he will be asking for - he once said he would like the captain to be able to choose all 12 of the side

- but did confirm it is a change to the current system.

The Ryder Cup committee met for almost four hours tonight but still could not decide who will captain the European team in 2010.

The committee will meet again in Dubai on Monday January 28 and plan to announce their choice the following day.

Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal and Britons Ian Woosnam and Sandy Lyle

are the frontrunners to lead Europe at Wales’ Celtic Manor in 20 months’ time, where they will want to regain the trophy they lost this year in the United States.

They now plan to make a final decision in Dubai at the end of the month.
