Olazabal targets Wales 2010

Ollie looks on helplessly

Jose Maria Olazabal has indicated that he would prefer to play at Celtic Manor in 2010 as opposed to skippering the side.

Europe will attempt to regain the Ryder Cup in Wales in two years time and several names have been mentioned as Nick Faldo s replacement.

However, despite injury ruling him out of this year s show, Ollie will be buoyed by the recent performances of US veteran Kenny Perry and compatriot Miguel Angel Jiménez, both of whom are enjoying their twilight years.

"I told the boys that my intention is that if I get healthy I might hopefully be a playing partner in the next Ryder Cup and then we'll see after that but time will tell," he said.
