The Committee is proud to introduce 2009 Pineapple Cup participant Fred Stone. Fred h
ad an impressive 2008, winning each and every match in which he played, going 3-0 in both four-ball and singles play. This is certainly an impressive stat, however, a lapse of priorities kept him from attempting to become the first person in Pineapple Cup history who won each and every sanctioned match. The lapse: he did not play in Friday's matches.

The lapse: he did not play in Friday's matches.Fred (aka "Big Fundamentals") graduated from Wake Forest University in 2004. He now lives in Raleigh, NC. Growing up a young fratter in Raleigh, Fred spent many a summer afternoon on the golf course. This enabled him to hone in a rather quick-tempoed golf swing.
During his initial Pineapple Cup outing, Fred earned the reputation as a fiery competitor. He struck the ball well all weekend and made many key putts. His performance from 2008 made him a favorite for the top draft spot in 2009. However, as previously reported in numerous news sources, Fred suffered an achilles injury in early winter that has sidelined his practice efforts leading up to the 2009 Pineapple Cup. Consequently, his game will certainly be in question. Despite Fred's assurances, whichever captain drafts Fred will take a leap of faith. Will such a gamble be rewarded remains to be seen.
