SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Europe captain Colin Montgomerie says Thomas Bjorn, Paul McGinley and Jose Maria Olazabal are ideal choices to be vice captains for the Ryder Cup in October.

That’s assuming none of them qualify to play.

Montgomerie wants Bjorn and McGinley, who have competed in a combined five Ryder Cups, to focus on their performance over the next couple months in case they can make the team.

Olazabal lost out to Montgomerie about 15 months ago for the captain’s job against the United States at Celtic Manor in Wales. The Spaniard said at the time that he did not want to be vice captain because “they don’t make decisions.”

Montgomerie said he wants to give Olazabal the opportunity to change his mind.
