Nicolas Colsaerts has admitted that he is "amazed" Martin Kaymer has chosen to not play during the final week of qualifying for the European Ryder Cup team.

Kaymer is currently holding the last automatic qualifying position for Jose Maria Olazabal's team but Colsaerts can take the spot from the German if he finishes in the top two at the Johnnie Walker Championship this week.
