Lee Westwood has reiterated his desire to captain Europes Ryder Cup team in 2020 with a stint as vice-captain in Paris in 2018 a likely stepping stone. Westwood, who was one of Darren Clarkes three wild cards for the Ryder Cup in Hazeltine, has not given up hope of playing against the United States for an 11th time when the event is staged in Paris and equal the record of his first Ryder Cup partner Nick Faldo.The 43-year-old needs just two and a half points to overtake Faldo as Europes all-time record points scorer in the biennial contest, after failing to win any of his three matches in the defeat at Hazeltine. Asked if he wanted to be European captain at Whistling Straits in 2020, Westwood said: Yeah, I think so. I certainly wouldnt want to be the captain next time around.Thats too soon for me, but I think 2020 is definitely on my radar. There are a lot of candidates for it but Ill be putting my name in the ring for sure. Its something Id like to do. Nick Faldo (left) and Lee Westwood (right) during the Ryder Cup at the Valderrama Golf Club Ive played on 10 and witnessed 10 different forms of captaincy, so Im pretty well qualified to be a captain I would have thought.Ive played a lot in it and Id like to maybe play again, but if I cant play again Id like to do the assistant captains role, see what goes on behind the scenes, although I paid a lot of attention to what Darren and the assistant captains were doing this year.I dont think necessarily you have to be an assistant captain (before being captain), but it probably helps. Another angle to see it from, more experience. Andy Sullivan was part of Europes 2016 Ryder Cup team Englands Andy Sullivan also failed to win a point at Hazeltine, the 30-year-old losing in the opening foursomes session alongside Rory McIlroy and to Brandt Snedeker in the singles.I think its one of those things that everyone wants to play five games, which is not going to happen, Sullivan said.Its not plausible to do that.Obviously different situations come about and unfortunately its one of them situations where we were behind and Darren had to send the team out there that he thought was going to get us in front.
