Darren Clarke was selected Wednesday as the captain of the European team for the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine after receiving overwhelming support from key players like Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter. The European Tour announced its decision following a meeting of a five-man selection panel, which included the last three captains - Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal and Paul McGinley. Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain and Thomas Bjorn of Denmark were also candidates for the role but Clarke was the unanimous choice, Montgomerie said. The top-ranked McIlroy and stalwarts of the European team like Poulter, Justin Rose and Graeme McDowell had given their backing to Clarke, who played on four winning teams in the Ryder Cup from 1997-2006 and was vice captain in 2010 and '12.
