North Myrtle Beach, SC (AP) -- For Immediate Release
Sources close to the Committee have confirmed that Captain Alex Yates will make the first selection in the 2009 Pineapple Cup draft, to be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Because the draft uses a snake format, Captain Buck will then have the second and third selections.
Now that the draft date and selection order are set, speculation is sure to run rampant about who Captain Yates will select as the overall #1 selection. Last year's top selection, Mark Wilson, performed well but was unable to catch his brother in the points race for the Cup. Certain participants believe that Mark Wilson is a likely top selection again this year. Others think Captain Yates will select the Pineapple Cup's first pro, Adam McLaughlin, as #1. McLaughlin will certainly be near the top of the captains' lists, but his likely absence during Friday play means he will likely not clinch the top draft spot.
In any event, the teams will be set in just 11 days.

This could finally settle the debate on whether Captain Yates has a bigger mancrush on Chairman Carrington or Committee member Wilson.
ReplyDeleteThat's Committee member and Chairman Emeritus Wilson to you.

This talk about McGlaughlin being the first pro is less than accurate. Captain Williams competed for over a year on the mini-tour circuits as well as runs a golf teaching academy.
ReplyDeleteFirst Club Pro would be a more accurate description.
