America to reveal Ryder Cup captain

The PGA of America are today set to announce their Ryder Cup captain for the defence of the trophy at Celtic Manor in Wales in 2010, with Corey Pavin the firm favourite to land the role.

The 49-year-old Californian, who will have a tough act to follow in Paul Azinger, was last involved in the match as one of Tom Lehman’s assistants in the crushing defeat in Ireland four years ago.
