Olazabal backed for future Ryder role

Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke both believe Jose Maria Olazabal will still become Ryder Cup captain – probably for the 2012 match in Chicago.

Montgomerie originally wanted Olazabal as one of his assistants for Celtic Manor in October, but turned to Clarke instead after deciding the 44-year-old Spaniard’s poor health counted against him.
