Captains Price and Couples face tough choices to round out teams

Presidents Cup captains Fred Couples and Nick Price face very different challenges as they mull over the various options for their two wild card picks for the biennial team competition.

While US captain Couples is spoiled for choice with an impressive array of former major winners and emerging talent, his International counterpart Price is likely to opt for form given the relative lack of experience among his candidates.

The top-10 players in the Cup points standings automatically earned selection after the Deutsche Bank Championship finished in Norton, Massachusetts on Monday, leaving Couples and Price to round out their 12-man lineups with their additional picks.

Two of Webb Simpson (11th), Dustin Johnson (12th), Jim Furyk (13th), Bubba Watson (14th) and red-hot Jordan Spieth will likely be added to the US team

Meanwhile, Price’s selections are almost certain to come from Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee, Australian Marc Leishman, South African Tim Clark, Zimbabwe’s Brendon de Jonge and South African George Coetzee.
