Madison’s Steve Stricker has accepted Tom Watson’s invitation to serve as his third and final vice captain on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, set to face the Europeans Sept. 23-28 at Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland.

Stricker joins friend Andy North and Raymond Floyd, who had previously been added by Watson as assistant captains.

Watson introduced Stricker at a news conference on Wednesday, the day before Stricker will play in the 96th PGA Championship in Louisville.

The 47-year-old Stricker played on the 2008, 2010 and 2012 Ryder Cup teams and has a 3-7-1 record in 11 matches.

Europe has won five of the last six Ryder Cups.
