McGinley grateful for McIlroy support

Paul McGinley tonight thanked Rory McIlroy for the part he played in him becoming Europe’s new Ryder Cup captain, and said: “If Rory does not make the team I think he has got a good chance of a pick now!”
McGinley got the nod at today’s European Tour tournament committee meeting in Abu Dhabi, the Dubliner seeing off four other candidates – Scottish trio Colin Montgomerie, Paul Lawrie and Sandy Lyle, and Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez – to land the coveted position.
