Weir Going To See A Token Canadian
Hello. The captain's picks are in for the President's Cup. Jack Nicklaus picked Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan. Gary Player picked Nick O'Hern and Mike Weir.
Congrats to Nicklaus for two outstanding picks. He resisted the urge to pick Chris DiMarco, who has a great record but is not playing well, and chose two young players who are coming into their own. These were very enlightened selections, and make the US team a force to be reckoned with.
The same cannot be said for Player's picks. He's chosen one player (O'Hern) whose career highlights are beating Tiger Woods in match play twice. The other (Weir) was chosen because of where the event is being played, and who he was.
Before I go any further, please note the President's Cup is being played in Montreal next month for two reasons:

Before I go any further, please note the President's Cup is being played in Montreal next month for two reasons:
- It's close to the US, so the PGA players don't have to travel far
- In 2003, when the site was chosen, Mike Weir was on the top of his game
Mike Weir has done a lot for Canadian golf. But should he be on this team? More tomorrow.
Regards,
Steve
