More support for Darren Clarke as Ryder Cup captain.

Rory McIlroy is the latest player to back Darren Clarke as the next Ryder Cup captain for Europe.

McIlroy was among influential voices who threw support behind Paul McGinley when European Tour officials were choosing a captain for Gleneagles.

Clarke and Miguel Angel Jimenez have been mentioned as possible captains for 2016.

McIlroy is part of the field at the Alfred Dunhill links championship this week and says the pro am is the perfect place to unwind after last weekend.
