circuit and gained Price's nod after a consistent 2013 campaign capped by a strong start to the FedExCup playoffs. Jordan deserves to be on the team and Webb is a class act."īurly Zimbabwean de Jonge, though yet to win on the PGA Tour, has established a reputation as a 'birdie machine' on the U.S. that's not to say that I didn't want any of the other 10 guys. "The two guys that I wanted dearly to be on the team were Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk. "I told him last night that he wasn't on the team through a text and would talk to him today just because I just couldn't handle it, to be honest with you. "I haven't talked to him yet," Couples added. He definitely deserves it."Ĭouples said he had always planned to pick Simpson, though he was bitterly disappointed to have no room on his team for Jim Furyk, a veteran of seven Presidents Cups. It's a team game, and everybody I talked to on the team wanted Spieth. He has become one of the best young players in the game. "I left Keegan out two years ago, and that was a killer decision. I'm excited to have a young kid on the team. "He is one of our top players, even though he is only 20. "To pick Jordan was the right move and he is having an incredible year," Couples said after announcing his two picks on Golf Channel. The 20-year-old won his maiden PGA Tour title at the John Deere Classic in July, lost out in a playoff for last month's Wyndham Championship and rocketed into a tie for fourth at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday after closing with a 62. Chris Keane / ReutersRed-hot PGA Tour rookie Spieth was a much bolder selection but had captured Couples' attention with a sizzling run of form over the past two months.
