Colin Montgomerie has said he would be prepared to captain the 2014 European Ryder Cup team.
Montgomerie had indicated after leading Europe to victory over the United States last October in Wales that he was not interested in doing the job again. But the former US Masters champion Sandy Lyle suggested this week that Montgomerie would be perfect for the role at Gleneagles in 2014.
“I don’t know where Sandy is coming from but that’s just his own opinion, I suppose,” Montgomerie said on the eve of the Andalucian Open.
“But whether or not I am captain in 2014 depends on how things go in 2012 and what the committee’s feelings are.
“I am just there to support the Tour, as I’ve always said,” Montgomerie said.
