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.
