Give President’s Cup captain Jack Nicklaus a thumbs up for selecting youngsters Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan to round out the U.S. team. Nicklaus opted for youth over experience, passing up Chris DiMarco, who clinched the 2005 cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., and Davis Love III. DiMarco spent much of last year battling injuries and frankly has only one top 10 finish this year. Love has only three top 10 finishes in 2007 compared to five for Mahan and three for Glover. But Glover also has nine finishes in the top 25 this year compared to four for Love and five for DiMarco. Gary Player, captain of the international team, selected Canadian Mike Weir and Nick O’Hern of Australia. Weir was a sentimental pick as the President’s Cup will be contested in Montreal.
