Captain Fred Couples likely to be selected for Ryder Cup Captain
Fred Couples will be the Ryder Cup’s Captain in 2014. Couples provided remarkable assistance as the Captain of the US Team in the Presidents Cup.
He is confident once again to exhibit effective leading skills for the US Team, in the Ryder Cup at the Gleneagles Hotel, Auchterarder, Perth & Kinross, Scotland.
Couples, an American professional golfer, has served as the Captain of the US Team for the last two consecutive events of the Presidents Cup. Under his captaincy, the US Team successfully won the titles in 2009 and 2011.
Tiger Woods also supported his selection as the Captain. Tiger returned to golf in November after a lay-off period and he is back on a winning streak.
He performed well in the Australian Open, the Presidents Cup and in the Chevron World Challenge.
"I’ve heard people question whether Fred would be a good Ryder Cup Captain, and I just don’t get it," said Woods. "I think that Fred is a great Captain. Whether it’s The Presidents Cup or the Ryder Cup, it doesn’t matter”.
"The way he keeps us loose and how much fun we have — it’s just great to play for him. He’s a lot more competitive than people realize. He just doesn’t show it. He shows it with us around, but the public doesn’t see it," Woods further added.
Tiger Woods, an American professional golfer is confident about Couples’ selection as the Captain.
In November 2011, Tiger Woods was picked by Couples, to be a part of the US Team. He showed an effective professional game and supported the US Team towards a victory.
The US Team successfully won the Presidents Cup over the International Team. The US scored 19, whereas the International Team scored 15, a four-point lead was a remarkable margin for the win.
The US Team needs to pay greater attention to the Ryder Cup. Before 1985, there was only one winning team, the US. The changing results of the Ryder Cup are in favour of the European Team.
The European Team successfully won nine times over the US, whereas the US won only four times.
The US Team is the current leader of the Presidents Cup. The team needs a competent captain for a good show at the Ryder Cup and for that, Couples is likely to be selected, to continue his winning career.
