Holmes to Replace Ailing Furyk on U.S. Presidents Cup Team
(Reuters) - J.B. Holmes will replace the injured Jim Furyk on the U.S. Presidents Cup team for next week's matches in South Korea, with Furyk attending the biennial team competition as an assistant captain, U.S. captain Jay Haas said on Friday.
Furyk was unable to compete in the match play event against the International Team in Incheon starting on Oct. 8 because of an ongoing wrist injury. He becomes the fourth assistant, joining Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Steve Stricker.
The long-hitting, four-times PGA Tour winner Holmes, who was 12th in the final U.S. Cup standings, will round out the 12-man team.
