Olazabal chasing Ryder return

Jose Maria Olazabal hopes to take another step this week towards a Ryder Cup return at the age of 40 – seven years after he was a central figure in the event’s greatest controversy.

When Justin Leonard sank his 45-foot birdie putt on Brookline’s 17th green, the American camp celebrated as if he they had won the cup. It was not theirs yet, but when the commotion died down Olazabal missed and the Americans were able to rejoice with full justification.
