World number one Rory McIlroy is thrilled with the appointment of Paul McGinley as Europe's captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup.

"He is the best captain I have ever played under," said McIlroy, who played under McGinley's leadership for Great Britain and Ireland in the Seve Trophy.

McGinley, 46, will lead Europe against Tom Watson's United States team at Gleneagles.
