There are a few interesting bites from former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance in John Huggan's Sunday piece regarding the imminent announcement of Colin Montgomerie as Ryder Cup captain.
I like this move by the (European Tour Tournament] committee. It shows real forward thinking. They haven't bowed
down to any kind of outside pressure. And Monty is the right man for
the job. The Ryder Cup is so important to our tour, we just have to get
the right man. It raises the profile of the tour and all the players.
Nobody would know who the hell I am if it wasn't for the Ryder Cup.
Here's the real zinger though.
I think we – and by we I mean Europe – made a mistake when the job was
recently given to people who probably deserved it on their records but
who weren't the right kind of person. Not this time though. Monty will
give it everything.
