Weir Going To See A Token Canadian II

Hello. Does Mike Weir belong on the President's Cup team? Let's ask this in other ways:

1. If Stephen Ames would've had Mike Weir's record the past 2 years, and Weir would've had Stephen Ames' record, would Ames have gotten on?
2. If this event was not in Canada, would Weir have gotten on?

My answer is no to both. However, you can say Weir will get the crowd involved, and he has previous President's Cup experience, with an 8-6 record. Hopefully that will translate into some points.

Let's just say that in no way was Mike Weir a captain's pick. Gary Player had a lot of pressure to pick Weir from sponsors, media and fans. In hindsight, there's no way Player was going to NOT pick Weir. In fact, the only ones who didn't seem to know this were Weir himself and Stephen Ames.

It's been my experience that captain's picks do very well in these events. It's the ones who automatically qualify who seem to struggle. That's good news for Mike Weir.

Regards,

Steve
