Simon Dyson's dream of playing in the Ryder Cup is still alive with only two days of the year-long marathon to go.

"If I play the best 36 holes of my life I'll play in the best tournament of my life," said the 32-year-old after shooting a second round 70 in the Johnnie Walker Championship that kept him in joint seventh place.

However, it might not be enough. Even if he does go crazy and grab the victory he needs to have a chance of a debut at Celtic Manor in just over a month, Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez will keep out Dyson if he finishes in the top nine on Sunday. ufffd PA Sport
