Havret eyes a shot at a place in 2010
David Smith, Sports Correspondent1 Sep 2008
Gregory Havret was drenched in champagne by friends and supporters after winning the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, but today the Frenchman insisted a taste of the Ryder Cup would be even sweeter.
Havret followed up his dramatic one-shot victory over England's Graeme Storm by setting his sights on a Ryder Cup debut at Celtic Manor in Wales in 2010.
The 31-year-old's second successive win in Scotland - he took last year's Scottish Open - came too late to get him into Nick Faldo's team to defend the Ryder Cup later this month.
But Havret, whose final round of 70 yesterday left him with a 14 under par total of 278, said: "Now, the Ryder Cup is definitely a goal. I would like to play in the European team at least once, many times hopefully.
"This victory has gone a long way towards convincing me to trust in myself. Now I will work to make the team in two years' time."
Havret sunk a 12ft winning putt on the last hole, depriving Storm of a play-off after he carded a final round of five under par 68.
