Love has heart set on Ryder Cup playing role

DAVIS LOVE does not rule out being a playing-captain of the United States’ Ryder Cup team next year — something that has not been done since Arnold Palmer in 1963.

The 46-year-old, confirmed yesterday as Corey Pavin’s successor, said firmly: “If I qualify and I know that I am healthy I would like to play. Maybe I would play once a day and turn my radio in. It would be a nice problem to have.

“We’ll cross that bridge if we get to it, but it would be a great story for our team if I get three or four points out of the deal.”
