Choi Comes Through at Memorial

Hello. Congrats to KJ Choi for capturing The Memorial tournament after shooting a Sunday 65.
Choi and Rory Sabbitini have now established themselves as strong candidates for the International President's Cup team. When combined with Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman, Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott et al, it should be a very strong team.
If Gary Player is true to his words earlier (and I certainly hope he is), the chances of having a Canadian on the team is at best remote. Stephen Ames and Mike Weir have done nothing to beat out any of the group above.
Will this be the equivalent of Canada hosting the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and 1976 Summer Olympic Games, and not getting a gold medal? I think it's even worse. Obviously the thinking of having Canada host was that it was close to the US and Mike Weir was a lock to get a spot. Hopefully the event will still draw without a Canadian. It should do better than the Canadian Open.

Regards,
Steve
