Poulter says he wants the Ryder Cup spot but skips the final qualifying tournament to go play in the states!

Poulter will skip Ryder decider
Poulter insists he has a 'burning desire' to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup
Ian Poulter will have to rely on a captain's pick to make Europe's Ryder Cup team after pulling out of this week's Johnnie Walker Championship.
It is the final event counting towards selection and Poulter is outside the automatic selection spots.
"I have called (captain) Nick Faldo and told him of my decision and hope that my performance so far will earn one of his two wildcard picks," said Poulter.
He will instead play in America in a bid to reach the final play-off events.
Poulter will head to Boston hoping to finish high enough at the Deutsche Bank Championship to secure entry to the final two FedEx Cup play-off events, the BMW Championship and The Tour Championship. We know that Nick will do the right thing and I will be playing as hard as I can this week
Ryder Cup hopeful Ian Poulter
"It has been an extremely difficult decision to take given my burning desire to represent Europe again in defending the Ryder Cup in the United States," he said.
"But the fact that Boston this week is my only opportunity to qualify for the final two play-off events, as well as being my final opportunity to play my 15 events on the US PGA Tour, conflicts with my ambition to play Gleneagles and earn my spot in the Team.
"The captain's picks are a nightmare, and not a position I would have wanted, where I need one, but we do know that Nick will do the right thing and I will be playing as hard as I can this week to add to my year and hopefully earn one."
Poulter is up against the likes of Colin Montgomerie, Darren Clarke and Paul Casey in the contest to be one of Faldo's two wildcard picks.
Europe's Ryder Cup team is composed of 10 automatic selections plus two captain's picks.
The automatic selections are the top five players from a list based on the world rankings, plus the next five best players to feature on a European Tour-based points list.
Poulter is currently in eighth place on the Ryder Cup world points list.
The 37th Ryder Cup will be hosted by the United States at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville from 19 to 21 September.
