McGinley: Waiting was the hardest part

Paul McGinley has spoken about the agonising 58 minutes he spent in his hotel room last night waiting to hear if he had been made Ryder Cup captain - or if he had missed out on the job probably forever.

The 46-year-old Dubliner, will lead Europe against Tom Watson's America at Gleneagles next year and has already made clear his intention not only to give the match a Scottish flavour, but also to honour the memory of Seve Ballesteros again.
