However, Jean Van de Velde and Bernhard Langer, who alos sit on the Tournament Players Committee were not present to cast their vote and are believed to be strongly on the side of Faldo.

After Tuesday's meeting, which precedes the Loch Lomond International tournament starting Wednesday, Torrence said: "Mark is going to have a chat with Nick and I hope that that will be the end of it".
James too was pleased with the result of the link meeting, saying: "I'm happy that Sam has had unanimous support in his choice. We all want to put this matter to bed. Some mud has been slung and we need to move on".
Faldo who believes that James has breached the players code of conduct by publishing the book while he was still an official of the team, has warned that he could hit link back. He spoke out saying: "If they (the committee) feel quite happy that their captain and chairman can slag off someone, the OK". All at link 20110413
