Ryder Cup debutant Jamie Donaldson is more concerned about his table tennis form against fellow team-mates than he is about tackling the Gleneagles course. The 38-year-old rookie secured his place on Paul McGinley's team by winning the Czech Masters in August and has subsequently had two other top-10 finishes on the European Tour. However, arriving in Scotland on Monday he discovered European competitiveness was not reserved solely for the United States. Jamie Donaldson admits he is disappointed with his table tennis form against Thomas Bjorn 'I played table tennis last night with Thomas Bjorn, who had a jumper on and I had a tee shirt on, and I was dripping with sweat and he didn't have any sweat on him at all and he battered me 3-0,' said the first Welshman to play in the Ryder Cup since Phillip Price 12 years ago.
