Beaten Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo on Wednesday said he would be happy to take up the leading role again as he broke two months of silence on September`s debacle.

Faldo, who was heavily criticised over Europe`s heavy defeat to the United States at Valhalla, made a brief statement ahead of this week`s Hong Kong Open but declined to comment further.

`I enjoyed it so much that week. It really was a great experience,` he said.

`If somewhere down the line there`s another opportunity to be captain, I would really consider it.`

When questioned further on the Ryder Cup, the six-time Major winner refused to be drawn.

`What was said has been said so we`ve moved on. We`re two months on now,` he said.

Faldo, who had earlier ruled out a second stint as skipper, drew fire after Europe lost the trophy they had held for six years in their worst defeat for nearly three decades.

The 51-year-old Englishman was especially faulted for his singles line-up for the final day, when he picked his strongest players last despite the fact that Europe were already trailing.

He also had a mixed performance in front of the media and was embarrassed when a photographer snapped him holding his secret list of foursomes, which he briefly tried to pass off as sandwich orders.
