Excellent news. A true fighter. He will change the mentality of the US
team. Let=B4s hope for a hard and equal fight in two years time. This is
from the BBC:
Azinger set for US Ryder Cup role
Azinger is expected to renew his rivalry with Faldo
Paul Azinger is tipped to be named on Monday as US Ryder Cup captain
for the next match against Europe in 2008.
The US media believe the 46-year-old veteran of four Ryder Cups will
get the nod over Fred Couples and Corey Pavin.
If selected, Azinger - part of winning teams in 1991 and 1993 - faces a
tough task following America's third straight defeat in the competition
in September.
Europe have already chosen Nick Faldo as their captain for the next
Ryder Cup at Valhalla, Kentucky.
Azinger won the USPGA title in 1993 - a year which also saw him
diagnosed with lymphoma in his right shoulder.
A successful fightback culminated in his most recent Tour victory at
the 2000 Hawaiian Open.
A feisty competitor in his prime, he was just pipped by Faldo at the
1987 Open Championship at Muirfield.
In recent seasons, he has also worked alongside Britain's six-times
major winner as a TV commentator.
The announcement of the US skipper will be made by the PGA of America
during a conference call on Monday from Valhalla Golf Club in
Louisville.

The PGA thought they needed an intelligent guy who was well-respected
by his peers.
But instead of Corey Pavin they chose the butthole, Paul Azinger.
Looks like another rout for the Euros. Has Azinger ever beaten Faldo
in anything?
Can't wait to see the US team uniforms ..... all Camo.
