Interesting piece on the Weir/Ames debate.......

http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/...e-1524d86ba1fa

If it came down to a head-to-head between Weir and Ames, there was still no way it could have been anyone but Ames. Based on their performances in 2007, Ames leads Weir in the rankings, money earned, top 10s and cuts made on the PGA Tour.

As was pointed out in this space yesterday, it's unfortunate for Ames that he didn't play like Woody Austin on Sunday. There's no shame in shooting six-over 76 when paired with Tiger Woods in the final round of a major, but it certainly made Player's decision to pick Weir easier. And rumours were swirling all around Tulsa before Sunday that Weir was going to be picked -- no matter how Ames finished.
