Azinger said of his choice, "He faced a tough task in 2008, this is the greatest honor you can give to a professional golfer."
Before that, the American
team beat the Irish team with a record-breaking record led by former captain
Tom Lehman in 2006 and lost the Ryder
Cup for the third time in a row. Beat the European team for the first time
since 1999.
While the United States
missed out on the world's No. 1 Tiger Woods due to injury, they have had a
16.5-11.5 success with four games to go.
Azinger also changed the
qualifier for the tournament to have four wildcard picks instead of two, and
postponed his final team selection to allow players to find status.
He outlined this innovative
strategy in his book "Cracking the Code: Strategies for Winning the Ryder
Cup: Making It Work for You," published in May 2010.

This book was written in collaboration with Ron Braund, a team builder, and corporate psychologist, who consulted with Azinger during the Ryder Cup.
This is Azinger's second
book after ending the fight against cancer. In December 1993, he was identified
with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the right shoulder. His treatment included 6
months of chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiation therapy in California.
Seven years later, Azinger
struggled back in Hawaii and won the PGA Tour Championship.
