Paul McGinley to captain GB&I in Paris

Just four months after he was made Ryder Cup captain, Colin Montgomerie has been instrumental in boosting the chances that Paul McGinley will be the man in charge at Gleneagles in 2014.
McGinley was called by the Scot this week and offered the opportunity to lead Britain and Ireland against Continental Europe in the Vivendi Trophy - previously known as the Seve Trophy - in Paris in September.
The Dubliner, who two years ago stood down as one of Nick Faldo's Ryder Cup assistants because he wanted to try to make the team, this time accepted.
"I didn't know anything about it until Monty called. I slept on it, but obviously I'm thrilled," said McGinley.
"I don't know how good a captain I'm going to be, but I have a lot of strong ideas and opinions on why teams have been successful."
