MUNICH (Reuters) - Ireland's Padraig Harrington rubber-stamped his place in Europe's Ryder Cup team on Friday after a two-under-par 70 in the BMW International second round.

His compatriot Paul McGinley, however, will have to sweat it out over his place at the K Club after missing the cut at Nord Eichenried.

An enigmatic 72 by McGinley left the player who holed the winning putt in 2002 with an anxious wait to see whether he will be overtaken in Europe's table by Sunday night.

The portents for McGinley are favourable so far, though. His closest rival for the 10th and final qualifying spot, Briton Paul Broadhurst, sits just on the predicted cut-off mark of 143, one-under, and the Englishman needs a top three position to oust McGinley.

"It will be extraordinary if I don't make it," McGinley said. "Padraig has said that when qualifying is over I'll be all right. I hope he's right.
