TEAMS SELECTED; FRIDAY PAIRINGS ANNOUNCED

The wait is almost over! Captains Steve Riddick and Andrew Tucker drafted teammates on Thursday night. It was rumored that both captains made as many as 20 phone calls late Wednesday night in an attempt to research each participant's game. The draft officially began via conference call at 8:28 PM on Thursday. Captain Riddick had the first selection and, much to Captain Tucker's surprise, chose chairman emeritus and host Mark Wilson as his first pick. Captain Tucker was quick to select the group's best player, Alex Yates, as his first pick. There were several surprises, cheers, boos and hisses during the selections. At the end of the draft the teams were set:

Captain Tucker: Alex Yates, Fred Stone (rookie), Tommy DeMint, Wes Argabrite (rookie), Matt Zimmerman (rookie).

Captain Riddick: Mark Wilson, Lindsay Carrington, Buck Williams, Jeff Wilson and Boone Smith (rookie).

Additionally, the captains’ Friday morning cards were released and revealed interesting matchups. In the first match, Lindsay Carrington and Buck Williams will face Alex Yates and a ghost partner (Argabrite (front); Zimmerman (back). This match features three of the best golfers on the trip and a rookie. Also, two former WFU teammates, Buck and Yates, are pitted against each other.In Friday morning second match, Captain Riddick paired the brothers Wilson together to take advantage of natural family synergies. Interestingly, Captain Tucker coupled rookies.
