minutes left, but Canada was the team that took advantage

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 has not given up hope of playing against the United States for an 11th time, equalling the record of his first Ryder Cup partner Nick Faldo.The 43-year-old also still needs 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 a fortnight ago.Westwood admits he tried to wipe the Ryder Cup out of his mind at last weeks Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but the former world No.1 could not avoid questions on the topic ahead of the British Masters, which gets under way at The Grove on Thursday.I thought it was a good week. I thought both teams played well, said Westwood, who was one of captain Darren Clarkes three wild cards. The Americans did to us what weve been doing to them for the last 20 years.They holed a lot of good putts and probably holed more putts than us. Not a lot in it tee-to-green. It was a good atmosphere to play in, as well, generally, and yeah, I thought it was a good week.Asked if he still wanted to be European captain at Whistling Straits in 2020, Westwood added: 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.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.
