USA wins 19-15. I think with guys like Johnson, Watney, Watson and Woods going low, they will take it out.

This will be a great President Cup: on one side the US Team don't want to make the infamous record of all team tournaments lost since Celtic Manor (Ryder, Walker, Solheim) while on the other side I think the Internationals got the players to beat US, great show!

You've put a pic of the Sydney Opera House with the Presidents Cup, it's in Melbourne. Would be like putting a pic of the cup and the Statue of Liberty when it was held in San Francisco.

Melbourne doesnt have a world renowned landmark. So what icon do you think they will use for Columbus in 2013??

US team looks stronger - 18:16.    Whats with the lack of euro guys - seems flawed they are not allowed to play to represent the int'l team ?

MVP:  Watney

The International team is everyone but the US and Europe. Europe plays in the Ryder Cup.

The President's Cup, as an event, really needs the internationals to win this one. I'm a bit worried the Aussies will be skittled out for 47, though. Whoops, sorry, wrong game.

Stretch.

I can't believe it happened. I was watching and said that with the wicket still doing a bit, we'd rather not bat and get bowled out cheaply. I thought we might make 150, at one point 25 was looking like a stretch. I've never seen 2 hours of such good bowling ever on a tv screen.

    • No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues.  I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.
    • Thanks for following up. Since you're going to be booking the stay and play packages, does that mean you have to put up the money up front?
    • They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).
    • Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.
    • I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.
