Langer’s captaincy limbo worries Monty

COLIN MONTGOMERIE yesterday welcomed the new Ryder Cup qualifying system – but voiced his grave concerns over the possible loss of Bernhard Langer as captain.

Montgomerie shares Langer's view that the new method of selecting the European side should produce the strongest team possible.

Instead of 10 players qualifying from a points table based on the Order of Merit and two wild cards making up the team, five players will qualify from a special Ryder Cup World Points List which begins at this week's European Masters in Crans-sur-Sierre.
