LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If timing is everything in sport, as the saying goes, then the stars could not be better aligned for Zimbabwean Brendon de Jonge to make his debut at the biennial Presidents Cup in a month's time.

The burly 33-year-old earned a spot on the 12-man Internationals team as one of two captain's picks announced on Wednesday by compatriot Nick Price, who has long been his golfing idol and, more recently, a mentor.
