Weir Not Going To Make It?

Hello. Mike Weir is in trouble. He's out of the top 10 in the President's Cup standings. He's injured. And he needs a win at the PGA to get on the squad on points. What seemed like a lock for Canada's golf prince when Royal Montreal was announced as the President's Cup site now seems like a longshot. There are simply too many good players, including Stephen Ames, for anyone to justify having Weir on the team.
If anyone thinks my last statement was cruel, ask yourself if Weir would be on the squad if he weren't Canadian. Thought so. There's simply no way to logically have him on the squad.
So, what to do? Here's a thought - make Weir an alternate captain. Say his neck injury is too advanced to risk permanent damage. Let him handle all media conferences except for the occasional word from Gary Player. Emphasize how Weir's spirit and knowledge contributed to the overwhelming victory the Internationals achieved. In short, make Weir a hero.
Will it work? Will Canadians be cheering hard if Weir is not playing? I think so. They'll still see 24 of the best golfers in the world, something that hasn't happened in Canada in quite a while.
Whatever happens, Mike Weir should be part of the President's Cup. Right now, he shouldn't be playing in it.

Regards,
Steve
