Akron (United States) (AFP) - Steve Stricker was named an assistant captain for the United States' Presidents Cup team on Tuesday with barely a month remaining in qualifying for the October showdown in South Korea.

Stricker will join Fred Couples and Davis Love as assistants to US captain Jay Haas as the Americans try to retain the trophy against an Internationals squad from outside Europe as the Ryder Cup-style event makes its Asian debut on October 8-11.
