Azinger Out; Pavin To Leader Ryder Cup Team


Paul Azinger will not return as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain in 2010, opening the door for Corey Pavin to lead the Americans when they challenge the Europeans in Wales. The official announcement will be made by the PGA of America on Thursday in New York. Azinger was praised for breaking the Europeans’ stranglehold on the cup, which they won three straight times. He did it without the services of injured Tiger Woods. Although it was apparent that Azinger wanted to be asked to captain the U.S. team, the feeling here is that he had nothing to gain and everything to lose by taking on the captain’s role again. Pavin, known as the “Gritty Little Bruin” for his determined style of play, had a record of 8-5-0 in three Ryder Cups, two of which were American wins.
