US Captain Paul Azinger has named former Ryder Cup Captains Raymond Floyd and Dave Stockton, along with Tour regular Olin Browne, to serve as assistants for The 2008 United States Ryder Cup Team.
The trio, announced at a news conference at Southern Hills Country Club, will be on duty during The 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, from September 19-21.
Floyd, 64, a four time Major Champion, is a veteran of eight Ryder Cup Teams, posting a 12-16-3 record and serving as Captain in 1989. He won one of his two USPGA Championships at Southern Hills in 1982.
Stockton, also 64, won USPGA Championships in 1970 at Southern Hills and in 1976 at Congressional Country Club. He served on two Ryder Cup Teams, compiling a 3-1-1 record. Stockton was Captain in 1991, when the US edged out Europe, 14½ to 13½, at The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island.
Browne, 48, is one of Azinger’s closest friends on Tour, and owns three USPGA Tour and four Nationwide Tour victories since joining the PGA Tour in 1995.
