Ian Woosnam feels European captain Nick Faldo may struggle with just one assistant when the Ryder Cup gets underway at Valhalla.Paul McGinley was originally selected as a vice-captain but the Irishman chose to reject the chance to work alongside Faldo as he still had aspirations to make the team as a player.
That failed to happen but Faldo is adamant that he will not bring anyone else in to help and will cope with just the Spaniard to assist.
"Between the pair of us we've got 18 Ryder Cups and we have served with five captains as well," he said.
"I want to keep it the two of us because the thing I learned from the Seve Trophy was that if I am going to make the final decision, I have to gather the information myself.
"We are very comfortable. From the Seve Trophy experience I know how much I enjoyed it and it was very valuable to know how I can move around the golf course."
But Woosnam, who led Europe to a crushing victory over the Americans at the K Club two years ago, disagrees with the six-time major winner and he believes that surrounding yourself with as many people as possible is the way to go.
"I found that how I ran my operation, even five are not enough," he said. "I would say Nick Faldo needs more people to be out there in America helping him. I don't know how he will cope - he'll find out, I guess.
"That's the way Nick's doing it, but I did it the way I did it and that was the same way Bernhard Langer did it and Tony Jacklin did it.
"Nick Faldo has got the experience - he should know all that. We'll just have to wait and see what happens."
