Ryder captain to be named by year-end: McGinley
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 10 - 2016

Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley expects Europe, beaten by the United States in Minnesota earlier this month, to name Darren Clarke's successor as skipper by the end of the year.
The Americans ended a run of three successive defeats in the biennial event when they overcame Clarke's side 17-11 at Hazeltine National.
According to media reports, Denmark's Thomas Bjorn and Padraig Harrington of Ireland are the frontrunners to take over as captain for the next edition in France in 2018.
"We'll be appointing a new skipper probably this side of Christmas," McGinley told Reuters in an interview after posting a final-round 75 at the British Masters Sunday.
"We are very disappointed to have lost the Ryder Cup. It hurts to lose ... the event goes from strength to strength, this time it didn't go our way but we'll re-galvanize and come at the Americans again."
McGinley, who finished in a share of 54th position with a two-under-par total of 282 at The Grove course on the outskirts of London, explained how the selection process for the next Ryder Cup would work.
"There are five people making the choice, the three most recent captains — Darren, myself and Jose Maria Olazabal — combined with European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley and someone nominated by the Players' Committee," said the 49-year-old Irishman.
"I believe that player is (British Open champion) Henrik Stenson. Hopefully we'll get together before Christmas, get that decision made ... and go on to regain the Ryder Cup."
McGinley, who led Europe to victory by 16-1/2 points to 11-1/2 in Scotland in 2014, believes Le Golf National will be a "wonderful venue" for the matchplay competition in 2018.
"I think it will be a terrific Ryder Cup in France," he said. "Paris will be a great host city and it's up to us to get our ducks in a row and have a very strong team again." — Reuters
