Captain Ernie Els has added a 7th rookie to his underdog International team after Jason Day was forced to withdraw with a bad back. This injury has plagued his career. He will also miss the Australian Open.
28 year old South Korean Ben (Byeong) Hun An will make his debut. He finished 15th on the points standings but has been playing well recently, 3rd at Sanderson Farms, T6 at the CJ CUP, T8 in Japan at the ZOZO Championship then T14 WGC HSBC Championship in Shanghai.
He joins Sungjae Im as the 2nd Korean on a team that will be challenged to communicate with 6 different languages . Im is this years Rookie of the Year on the PGA Tour.
Day has had one of his worst seasons, but was a captains pick, considering the match is down under where he is enormously popular. Els was hoping he would find his form and add his experience to his young team.
