(AP) -- Davis Love III is next up as U.S. captain in the
Ryder Cup.
Two officials involved with the selection process confirm that
Love will be the captain in 2012. They spoke on condition of
anonymity because the official announcement was not until Thursday
at Medinah, site of the next Ryder Cup.
Reports out of Europe indicate Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain will
be announced as captain Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
Love played on six teams, and he faced Olazabal in his first
Ryder Cup match in 1993 at The Belfry. Love and Tom Kite defeated
Olazabal and Seve Ballesteros in that opening session, although
Olazabal's team won the other four times they played.
Love was a vice captain when Europe won last October in Wales.
