Meronk proved to be a shock omission from the European Ryder Cup team, after being snubbed by Donald via his captain's picks. Instead the Englishman opted to go with Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Sepp Straka, Nicolai Hojgaard and Ludvig Aberg to complete his team. This of course came at the expense of the big-hitting Pole, but he is clearly spending no time stewing over his Ryder Cup snub, after finding his best form over the opening two rounds at Wentworth. Meronk has clearly turned his disappointment into motivation, as he sits one shot behind the leaders on nine-under-par following Friday's weather-affected second round. On Thursday the Italian Open champion kicked off his BMW PGA Championship with an impressive five-under 67, which included eight birdies. And he soon followed this up 24 hours later, shooting a four-under 68 to leave him well in the hunt heading into the weekend. This is Meronk's second DP World Tour outing since Donald took the tough decision to leave him out of the Ryder Cup squad, after competing at last week's Irish Open days after the team was confirmed.

"It's been an emotional time for me to be honest, from shock to sadness to anger and now I'm trying to turn it into motivation going into this week," Meronk said. "Obviously it's a hard one to swallow, I thought I'd done enough to be on that team. I was expecting a call because they told me they were going to call regardless, and I was in quite a good mood, to be honest. I was on the train coming from Switzerland, I'd had a nic){kind=link}
