Ogilvy, Toms secure Presidents Cup berths

Australian Geoff Ogilvy and American David Toms, both past major champions, secured berths in this year\'s Presidents Cup golf matches on Sunday with their performance at the PGA BMW Championship.The US holders will meet a non-European Internationals squad in November at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia, the site of the only victory by the global side against the Americans in the Ryder Cup-styled event\'s history.Ogilvy, the 2006 US Open winner, finished third at this week\'s $8 million PGA event near Chicago, the final qualifying event for automatic Presidents Cup berths, to hold off Aussie John Senden, the runner-up to England\'s Justin Rose.Senden needed a victory to have a chance at making the lineup on points but he could be one the captain\'s picks announced on September 27 by Greg Norman. The Internationals lineup includes Aussies Ogilvy, Jason Day and Adam Scott, South Africans Charl Schwartzel, Retief Goosen and Ernie Els, South Koreans K.J. Choi, Kim Kyung-Tae and Yang Yong-Eun plus Japan\'s Ryo Ishikawa. The Americans lineup includes Matt Kuchar, Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Webb Simpson, Nick Watney, Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, Hunter Mahan and 2001 PGA Championship winner Toms, who shared 10th at the BMW. US captain Fred Couples has also said he will use one of his captain\'s choices to select Tiger Woods for the team despite the former World No. 1 having not won any event since November of 2009.Toms, who missed the 2009 Cup, began the week in the final automatic spot but jumped to eighth in the final points standings. It was Furyk who finished 10th to edge Brandt Snedeker for the last automatic spot. \"There were a lot of scenarios out there,\" Toms said. \"I knew there were some guys I needed to beat in the golf tournament to secure my position and I was out there grinding.\" Snedeker is among a long list of US players hoping for a call from Couples. \"If I don\'t get picked, I\'ve had two years to qualify. I can\'t blame Freddie for anything that happens,\" Snedeker said.Joining Senden as candidates for Norman\'s two picks are Colombia\'s Camilo Villegas, who shared sixth at the BMW; South Africa\'s Louis Oosthuizen, Vijay Singh of Fiji and Aussies Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley.
