Corey Pavin will captain US in 2010
Ryder Cup match at Celtic Manor

Corey Pavin has been appointed captain of the United States team for the 2010 Ryder Cup match at Celtic Manor, Wales.
It is 15 years since Pavin featured in the Ryder Cup as a player. He was twice on winning teams in the three years he was selected.
The PGA of America decided not to give Paul Azinger the captaincy for the second consecutive time after the Americans, without Tiger Woods, ended a decade of losing to Europe with a 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory at Valhalla this year.
The Americans have not won in Europe since The Belfry in 1993.
In his heyday, Pavin won 15 times on the US PGA Tour, including the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
A short hitter, he more than made up for that with a a short game par excellence.
He was an assistant to Tom Lehman in 2006 in Ireland, where Europe won by a record margin.
Pavin appeared to be the only logical choice for the 2010 match - a major champion in his late 40s with Ryder Cup experience.
