2019 Presidents Cup

[sagegrouse]

US with unexpected prowess in the singles matches, end up winning a hard-fought battle.
Very entertaining last hour or so.

I know that the Golf Channel (God, I hate "Play Through Golf") kept touting the Internationals' superior record in singles, but most of those prior events were well decided before singles. IMHO (where the H got lost in the Outback) we should have won the Cup easily but had real trouble at first with Royal Melbourne greens, and the Internationals were well prepared for the course.

Top International team rankings on the OWGR
Scott - 18
Oosthuizen - 20
Hideki - 21

Top US rankings, all ahead of the best International
JT - 4
DJ - 5
Tiger - 6
Cantlay - 7
Xander - 9
Webb - 11
Reed - 12
Bryson - 13
Finau - 16
Woodland - 17

Then Kuchar was 23 and Ricky was 24.

Kindly,
Sage
'BTW the top three in OWGR are Koepka (injured), Rory and Jon Rahm'

entertaining last hour indeed, but who in the world whitens Matt Kuchar's teeth (and does he get a tip for it)? Did not know white came in a shade like that.

I think Tiger and his assistants did a heck of a job. They and the whole team deserve kudos.

I agree. the last-day comeback was impressive. The international team was, on paper, not much to look at. The differences among the world's top players come down to intangibles. Once The US team came to grips with how hard winning would be, we were awesome.

I realize he will probably qualify for next year's Ryder Cup automatically on points, but holy smokes, at some point a captain has to ask him to stand down. He is a lightning rod, for sure, and he brings it upon himself.
