Ollie Says He Didn't Agree To Anything!

Seems Monty exaggerated Jose Maria Olazabal's reported stance on becoming chief lieutenant for the 2010 Ryder Cup squad. Thanks to reader Jim for picking up Norman Dabell's story.

“My words to him were that I wanted to try to make the effort to get into the team as a player and if that was not the case we would have to have (another) little chat in the next year sometime,” Olazabal told an Andalucia Open news conference in Seville.

“I’m not certain about anything. That’s my position still.
“Maybe my English is not good. But have I made myself clear now? Have I expressed myself properly?”

I don't see any grey area there, do you?
