Paul McGinley has welcomed support from Europe's leading players tipping him as the main contender to replace Jose Maria Olazabal as captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup.
Sweden's Hanson, who failed to pick up a point for Europe in their 14½-13½ triumph, added his support to McGinley's case for the position. He said: "One guy that did a big, big job in the backroom was Paul McGinley. Paul did a fantastic job, He knows everything about all the previous Ryder Cups with all the records. He is really the guy that in the backroom really helped out, so I would love to see Paul be a captain."
