"To get that call from is really special because he's the guy that I looked up to, we all looked up to, as Canadian golfers." "I certainly wanted to be on that team but also I understood the picks," said Hughes, who lives in Charlotte and plays at Quail Hollow regularly."I think that like a lot of guys that don't get picked you more so look back on your own play and I wish I had made that selection easier for them.
This year Hughes made it easier for Weir, the Canadian golf legend from Brights Grove, Ont., to choose him. Hughes is 51st in the FedEx Cup Fall standings and has made the cut seven tournaments in a row, including a tie for fourth at last week's Procore Championship. An 11-year professional, Hughes has also been a member of the PGA Tour's player advisory council the past two years and has been an outspoken advocate for making professional golf more accessible to fans.
