If the President’s Cup were played tomorrow…
We are four months away from The Presidents Cup which is being hosted by the Harding Park Golf course in San Francisco but if it were being played tomorrow, these would be the teams:
| International | USA |
| Geoff Ogilvy | Tiger Woods |
| Vijay Singh | Phil Mickelson |
| Camilo Villegas | Steve Stricker |
| Ernie Els | Kenny Perry |
| Mike Weir | Sean O’Hair |
| Retief Goosen | Zach Johnson |
| Angel Cabrera | Jim Furyk |
| Tim Clark | Justin Leonard |
| Rory Sabbatini | Stewart Cink |
| Jeev M Singh | Anthony Kim |
Captain’s Greg Norman and Fred Couples will also have two extra picks to add to each team. The International’s are dominated by South Africans with Tim Clark and Rory Sabbatini in some good form.
What is missing from the International team is some little upstart who mouths off a bit too much to present the opposition supporters someone to hate and add a bit of spice to the event. I’m hoping Jason Day can win a few back-to-back tournaments, say something silly and fill that Sergio Garcia type role.
With President Obama being named honorary chairman of the 2009 Presidents Cup and the relatively poor form from some of the International team, Team USA will prove hard to beat.
Where is Sergio?
Is this like “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?”?
He’s Spanish and therefore doesn’t qualify.
