Torrance Backs Woosnam For Ryder Cup Captaincy
posted in Ryder Cup 2010 |Former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance has backed the Welshman Ian Woosnam to be named Ryder Cup Captain for 2010 at Celtic Manor.
Woosnam himself has captained the European Ryder Cup Team to victory in the past at the K Club in Ireland 2006.
The European Tour Committee is due to discuss the matter in Abu Dhabi this week but a formal announcement is not due until May 2009.
The two favourites for the Captaincy are Jose Maria Olazabal and Sandy Lyle, with rumours being that Olazabal is the favourite. However Olazabal is still playing on the tour himself and could even play at the event should he have a good couple of years. Olazabal’s more realistic chance of captaincy and maybe the more sensible choice should be in America in 2012.
Olazabal himself captained a losing European team in the Royal Trophy in Bangkok over the weekend.
