McClelland was twice in contention for a Ryder Cup place. In 1973 he finished 22nd in the Ryder Cup points list but was a possible choice having shown good form in the tournaments just before the four selections were made. The selectors, however, chose the players in 9th to 12th place in the points list. In 1977 McClelland finished 10th in the points list but the selectors chose two experienced players, Tony Jacklin and Neil Coles, together with two rookies, Ken Brown and Mark James, who had finished 9th and 11th in the points list.
