Olazabal takes place of Ballesteros as
captain of the Europe team v Asia

Jose Maria Olazabal will replace fellow Spaniard Seve Ballesteros as captain of the Europe team that takes on Asia in the Ryder Cup-style Royal Trophy golf tournament next month.
Five-time major champion Ballesteros, who led Europe to victory in the two previous Royal Trophies, decided he did not have time to recover for the January 9-11 tournament after undergoing the latest in a series of brain operations in early December.
"I am truly honoured to have been appointed by Seve to take such an important responsibility and I will do my best to deliver a win for my great friend and for Europe," two-time major winner Olazabal said.
"I plan to stay in contact with Seve throughout the process and to work with him as a partner, just like we did on the golf course for so many years in the Ryder Cup."
The Asia team will be captained for the second consecutive year by former U.S. PGA Tour regular Naomichi Ozaki of Japan.
