US Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger is confident he will not have to rely on fresh faces to end a run of three successive defeats by Europe.
Azinger, a veteran of four Ryder Cups as a player, says his main priority is to assemble a 12-man squad of in-form golfers for this year's matches in Louisville, Kentucky.
"New blood is fine if it shows up but I can't say anything other than that," the 48-year-old told reporters at this week's Tampa Bay Championship.
"If it's the same guys, I'm more than happy. I'm not looking for different faces. But if different faces show up, then that's going to be great.
"If it's the same guys, then I think they are the right guys because it would be difficult to make this team and not have a really good year.
"If it's all the same guys, I think they will want it really bad," added Azinger, who won his only major title in the 1993 PGA Championship.
"I know that they don't like the results. I will take whoever it is. Everybody wants to change the outcome. They got a taste of it. Tasting defeat the way they tasted it, is just a bad feeling."
