John Daly says Phil Mickelson or Tiger Woods should captain the United States at the next Ryder Cup, and didn't believe a task force would resolve America's losing streak.

Following Europe's third straight win, at Gleneagles in September, the PGA of America chose a task force of 11 people, including Mickelson and Woods, to try to find answers to ending two decades of European dominance.

"I don't know where they're going with a task force, I really don't, as they should just go ahead and pick a captain," Daly said after his opening 69 in the Turkish Airlines Open.

"Phil Mickelson should be the next captain and play at Hazeltine. Phil seems to thrive on Ryder Cup competition, does well when he plays. He knows everything about the Ryder Cup, so maybe it should be him or Tiger who should be the next captain. We've had playing captains over the years, so why not in 2016?" Daly said. -- AP
