Ozaki to lead Asia in Royal Trophy match against Europe

Japan's Naomichi "Joe" Ozaki has been named captain of Asia's Royal Trophy team for the match-play contest next January in Chonburi, east of Bangkok.
Ozaki, who led Asia to an unexpected 10-6 thrashing of twice winners Europe in January, will choose his eight-man team in the next few months.
Five-time major winner Seve Ballesteros, who underwent four operations to remove a brain tumour, is hoping to recover to captain Europe for the third time after missing the last edition.
