Weir and Ames will have to play their way onto the International team
MONTREAL (CP) - Canadians Mike Weir and Stephen Ames will have to play their way onto the International team at this year’s Presidents Cup golf tournament.
The event will be held in Canada for the first time this fall.
International captain Gary Player told a news conference today that Ames and Weir can forget about being sentimental choices for the team.
Player joined U.S. captain Jack Nicklaus at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Ile Bizard, Que., to preview the match-play tournament.
Both said the growth of international golf augurs well for an exciting event this September.
The biennial tournament pits the top U.S. golfers against the top non-European players.
The U.S. side won the 2005 edition, edging the International team 18.5 to 15.5.
