The dust has hardly had time to settle from the Ryder Cup in Kentucky but Justin Rose is already thinking about the 2010 match in Wales.

Rose was one of Europe's top performers at Valhalla, securing three points on his debut; two alongside fellow Englishman Ian Poulter and one by beating world No2 Phil Mickelson in the singles.

And last year's European No1 admits the experience has left him hungry for more at Celtic Manor.

"Even though we lost it has raised my interest even further, especially now having the chance to play in front of a home crowd. I think it would be a fantastic experience," said Rose.

"I will certainly be trying my hardest to secure my spot on the team as soon as possible."

European Tour leaders meet this week in St Andrews during the Dunhill Links Championship to discuss who will be Europe's next Ryder Cup captain.

Sandy Lyle, Jose Maria Olazabal and Ian Woosnam are the leading contenders and Rose said: "Whatever gets everybody's support, that's what it's all about really. It's fine with me."
