Golf-Healthy Ryder Cup captain Love one off lead in Greensboro

GREENSBORO, North Carolina, Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III might qualify to play on next year's team if he maintains the form that vaulted him to within a stroke of the second-round clubhouse lead at the Wyndham Championship on Friday.

It is clearly way too premature to contemplate such a scenario, but finally healthy after spinal fusion surgery in 2013 and, more recently, foot surgery, Love is competitive again.

The 51-year-old, who won the event in 1992 and 1996 when it was held at nearby Forest Oaks Country Club, carded a four-under-par 66 on an ideal morning for low scoring.
