Watson for President's Cup?

So there's an article, blog posting, editorial, or whatever you want to call it on golf.com in the form of a petition to Fred Couples asking him to pick Tom Watson for the President's Cup. Seriously. Even though the guy a month from 60, and is only competitive on the Champion's Tour a few times a year. Sure, he made for an entertaining British Open, but let's be honest, that was on a course he had won before and knew probably better than anyone else in the field. It was not super long, and being a links course, required a different style of game than any other tournament in the States. And, oh yeah, he didn't win. He couldn't get up and down for par from just off the green on the 72nd hole, and then got embarrassed in the playoff by Stewart Cink.

So, why in the world should he be on the President's Cup team? Are you telling me he should take the place of a much younger player who actually competes on the real tour throughout the entire year? Whoever penned that article for golf.com is taking his fanhood a bit too far in this case in thinking Watson should even be considered for the President's Cup. Let's hope Freddy is smart enough and realistic enough to know picking Tom Watson would make absolutely no sense.
