Langer will hand over captaincy, but not to Montgomerie

BERNHARD LANGER arrived back in London with the Ryder Cup last night and then counted himself and Colin Montgomerie out of the running for the captaincy in 2006.

Victorious skipper Langer touched down at Heathrow Airport with 10 of his triumphant team members, as Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald remained in Detroit.

After toasting his heroes with champagne, Langer revealed he was highly unlikely to put himself forward to do the job again at The K Club in Ireland in two years’ time.
