Bubba Watson named vice-captain for US Ryder Cup team

''I just want to be a part of it. It's so much fun.''

US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love has appointed Bubba Watson as his fifth vice-captain, Press Association Sport understands.

Two-time Masters champion Watson was overlooked for a wild card despite being ranked seventh in the world, but had made it clear to Love that he still wanted to be involved at Hazeltine this week.
