US Open champion Graeme McDowell is planning to fine-tune his game for the Ryder Cup by playing in the Austrian Golf Open later this month.

The event, from September 16-19, is the penultimate European Tour event before Europe take on the USA at Celtic Manor Resort in early October.

And after a few weeks' rest, McDowell is aiming to sharpen up over the Diamond Course.

The 31-year-old said: "I have taken a few weeks' break after the PGA to focus on the rest of my season and to be fresh for The Ryder Cup.

"My next and only tournament before Celtic Manor will be the Austrian Golf Open. I have always enjoyed playing in Austria and I see this as a good opportunity to become sharp ahead of our match against the United States."
