Woosie back for more?

Play it again Woosie?

So Ian Woosnam fancies another crack at the Ryder Cup captaincy?

It is something of an about turn from the Welshman from what he revealed to the press a couple of weeks before the matches at The K Club. Then, in the wake of Thomas Bjorn's eruption following his exclusion of the team at the expense Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke, he insisted it would be one time and one time only.

There were also whispers doing the rounds that he had not been as communicative with his prospective team as he might have been. It's amazing what a record-equalling victory can do. Just a couple of weeks after The K Club drubbing, the Welshman is pondering throwing his hat into the ring for the matches at Celtic Manor.

A Welsh captain in Wales - sounds obvious doesn't it? It's just that suddenly there is a bit of a log-jam en route to the European captaincy. In addition to Woosie, Colin Montgomerie quite fancies a go that time, as does Sandy Lyle. Jose Maria Olazabal is likely to be too old to make the team by then.

My feeling is Woosie should leave well alone and enjoy the words of praise he received following the win in September, when I do believe he was an outstanding captain.

I would go for Monty at Celtic Manor because by the time it reaches Gleneagles in 2014 he will be far removed from the tour and there might be just too much pressure captaining in his own country.

Another reason for Woosie staying clear of Celtic Manor you might say. My running order would be: Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal and Paul McGinley.

But we all now it doesn't really matter who captains. We're too good for them anyway, aren't we?
