Of Baddeley’s effort at last week’s Tour Championship where he tied for third, Norman said: “Aaron put in a tremendous performance there, and had a chance of winning the golf tournament. He played extremely well and has played very, very well for a few years now.
“So to bring him down to his favourite golf courses, as well, and play in his backyard was obviously a tough decision. But Aaron is the number two pick.”
Baddeley said: “I’m so excited and thankful that Greg picked me to be part of my first Presidents Cup team. It’s extremely special and it’s an honour to play for your country. I remember when the Presidents Cup was last at Royal Melbourne, I have vivid memories of watching the tournament outside the ropes so for this time to be part of the team is something that will be one of the most special memories of my whole year.”
