-> Fred Couples
-> 2nd in Ryder Cup Points
-> Birthplace: South Andros, Bahamas  Age: 33 Turned Pro: 1980
-> Money in 93:  $605,479  Career: $6,072,394  Victories: 10
-> Ryder Cup Appearances: 1989, 1991 Ryder Cup Record: 3-3-1

QUESTION.

WAS FRED ACTUALLY BORN IN THE BAHAMAS?  I THOUGHT THAT TO BE INCLUDED ON
THE RYDER CUP TEAM, THE PLAYER HAD TO BE *BORN* IN THE U.S.  --  EVEN IF
THE PLAYER IS A "CITIZEN" OF THE U.S.

CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS?

Many questions about Fred's birthplace:

You must be BORN A U.S. CITIZEN, not  born in the U.S.
For example, any military brat born in (say) Germany would be eligible.
His parents were citizens and therefore, so was Fred.
