Captain Price Wants a Korean Player, on Merit
AKRON, Ohio — South Korea will host the Presidents Cup in October and International captain Nick Price says he would dearly love to have a golfer from that country on his 12-man team, as long as that player gets in on merit.
Price will also be keeping a close eye on South African veteran Ernie Els over the coming weeks as he looks at the likely contenders for what is shaping up to be a relatively inexperienced lineup to take on holders the United States.
"It would be very important, just from a local interest point of view, to have a Korean player on my team," Zimbabwean Price, 58, told Reuters during this week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.
