US skipper Davis Love targeting playing role at Ryder Cup 2016

US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love will play in the 2016 event if he claims a top-three qualifying spot, he said after he stormed to victory in the Wyndham Championship and became the oldest living winner on the PGA Tour.

“I would play (in the Ryder Cup) if I was in the top two or three (qualifiers),” the 51-year-old said after he showed he can still match it with the young guys when his putting is on song.

He said the new US Ryder Cup regime, appointed in the wake of a review that studied the reasons for last year’s loss, made the role of the captain less important.“We’ve got it covered. (Tom Lehman), he’s not just an assistant captain.”
