McGinley drops Ryder Cup hint

TRIPLE Ryder Cup-winner Paul McGinley has strongly hinted for the first time his interest in being a European Ryder Cup vice-captain later this year at Celtic Manor.

McGinley has shied away from the subject ever since Colin Montgomerie was officially appointed captain during last year’s Dubai Desert Classic.

But with Jose Maria Olazabal confirming on the eve of today’s starting French Open in Versailles that he will not accept a similar position, favouritism for the positions has fallen in the lap of McGinley and Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn.
