McGinley handed captaincy boost

Just four months after he was made Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie has been instrumental in boosting the chances that Paul McGinley will be the man in charge at Gleneagles in 2014.

McGinley was called by the Scot this week and offered the opportunity to lead Britain and Ireland against Continental Europe in the Vivendi Trophy - previously known as the Seve Trophy – in Paris in September.
