RYDER Cup Captain Colin Montgomerie has selected European Tour stalwarts Thomas Björn, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley as his three Vice Captains for the 38^th instalment of the event at Celtic Manor, Wales in October.

Montgomerie said: “The Ryder Cup is about passion, commitment and will to win and all three men I have named today as my Vice Captains possess these qualities in abundance.

“Thomas Björn, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley are vastly experienced players who have the respect and admiration of everyone in golf. They have all been part of successful European Ryder Cup Teams in the past and know the players who will be part of my team at Celtic Manor in October as well as anyone.

“I am delighted to have them by my side as we head to Wales and I know they will be of invaluable assistance to me and everyone associated with the Team as we aim to regain The Ryder Cup.”
