Jimenez named among Ryder Cup vice-captains

Miguel Angel Jimenez is to become Europe’s fourth assistant captain at next month’s Ryder Cup.

Jimenez, who served as vice-captain to Seve Ballesteros in 1997, was named by Jose Maria Olazabal today and joins Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley, all of whom were part of Colin Montgomerie’s backroom team two years ago.
