Donald an GMac backing McGinley

Graeme McDowell and Luke Donald have backed Paul McGinley to captain Europe at the 2014 Ryder Cup.

McDowell this week joins 10 of his Ryder Cup-winning colleagues, along with victorious captain, Jose Maria Olazabal and vice-captains McGinley, Darren Clarke and Miguel Angel Jimenez in the BMW Masters in Shanghai.

While Clarke has drawn a line under any further talk on the 2014 captaincy, McDowell believes McGinley would be best suited to lead Europe at Gleneagles with Clarke perfect for the 2016 role at Hazeltine.
