Captains
want to see Presidents Cup in China and India
Golf globetrotter Gary Player and all-time major
wins leader Jack Nicklaus, rival captains at
the Presidents Cup, want to see the biennial
team matches played in China and India to boost
the sport.
Nicklaus' US squad beat Player's Internationals
19 1/2-14 1/2 Sunday, giving the Americans their
first triumph beyond US soil. The US team improved
to 5-1-1 in the rivalry against players from
beyond Europe.
Player,
a 71-year-old South African who pioneered spanning
the globe to play golf, sees the event as a
way of taking the game to places where the game
needs to develop and perhaps spark development
of an Asian superstar major winner.
"We
should be going into China. We should be going
into India and I think we should be going into
Eastern Europe," Player said. "That
would be my great dream to see that."
