Pádraig Harrington puts his hand up: Pick me as Ryder Cup captain

The race to succeed victorious European skipper Thomas Bjorn will take another couple of months to run, but the European Tour’s policy of promoting from within to ensure continuity looks set to reward the Irishman for a glorious, major-winning career and commitment to the Ryder Cup cause.
