Ryder Cup: Olazabal prepares for reunion

Jose Maria Olazabal’s mind is bound to go back to the 1999 Ryder Cup when the Accenture World Match Play Championship begins in California tomorrow.

Because of the withdrawals of Thomas Bjorn and Jose Coceres, Olazabal, already a winner on the US Tour this season, faces Justin Leonard in the first round of the £3.5m (€5.7m) event.
