THE SIDELINES : Floyd Would Like ’91 Ryder Nod

Ray Floyd said in September that he did not want to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 1991. He arrived for this weekend’s Skins Game and said he has changed his mind.

“I’d like to do it. It was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in golf,” Floyd said today.

He served as captain of the 12-man American team that tied Europe’s best in the biennial Ryder Cup matches in September. He said then that he didn’t want to do it again.

Since World War II, no one has served as an American Ryder Cup captain in successive matches. The captain, selected by the PGA of America, is expected to be named next spring.

“I would certainly do it if I was asked,” Floyd said. “But that has not been the precedent.”
