I am Canadian and The President's Cup is getting attention in the media here. Is anybody following this event in the States?

I'm also wondering how much Weir is feeling the pressure to play good after being a Captains pick and not winning anything lately?

I am eagerly anticipating the Presidents Cup and it is cool that is in Canada. What is the weather projected to be like this weekend there? The hype here is whether the US team will be into this event and perform. I don't care really because I like watching these events becuase you get to see all the shots. Good or bad. I also think as they get into it none of them wants to loose. Go U S A !!!

I know it doesn't have the history as the Ryder Cup, but I'm surprised by the lack of chat at the Sandtrap about the President's Cup.

From top to bottom, the International team is better than the European team (Tiger said so much a few days ago too) but there just doesn't seem to be the interest in it. I've always enjoyed it, and being Canadian (although on the West Coast, not near Montreal) it has been hyped here all year as it is the biggest golf event the country has ever had, especially since the tour started putting the Canadian Open in less than desirable slots in the schedule.

Is the President's Cup garnishing much interest elsewhere? If it doesn't interest you, what are the reasons behind it? Just curious...

Yes! And I enjoyed reading it; I guess I was referring to the paltry amount of posts about it.

Will probably pick up after the first day's scores are in. Traditionally we see very little commentary on the big events WHILE they're being played.

Looking at the final tally for Thursday's play, one may think it was a 'walk in the park' today ...personally I felt the ROW shot themselves in the foot on almost every match. Sabatini into the water on 18th, Appleby's left to left 2nd shot also on 18, Ernie missing the short uphill putt (18th) makes me feel we dodged a bullet today. I liked the Phil/Woody pairing.

Anyways ....way to go US!

The Phil/Woody pairing was down 3 with about 7 to go, IIRC. So you may not like it as much if they can't pull off the comeback today.

And Ernie missing that putt... WOW!

Dont look now but we're back in it.

As a Canadian, Weir has been great. I'm hoping this is a springboard to get his confidence back; after the loss to Vijay in the Canadian Open, he just hasn't been the same.

As for the other part of the post (we're back in it) I wish I could agree. The U.S. wins 3 of 12 matches tomorrow, and that's all she wrote. Even with the lopsided nature, there has been some good matches; I can't remember an event with this many hole-outs.

I wrote we're back in it after Friday's matches :) Not today. This one is over.

Although if Weir can upset Tiger i'll go insane.

They have been conceding some putts. That is the thing I love about matchplay. I have watched a match a few years back where every putt inside 5 feet was conceded until the final few holes and one of the players missed two 3 foot putts on the last two holes to lose the match. It is such a great format.

Unfortunately being an Aussie, this President's Cup has not been quite so enjoyable for me.

I really enjoyed the competition and the format this weekend. Anytime you get 20 of the worlds best golfers together there's gonna be some great shots like we saw this weekend.

My only beef with the whole thing was NBC. It may just be me, but the main two announcers were pro-int'l team. They weren't anti-american, they would acknowledge the great shots, but I thought they were going to have a heart attack when the int'l team had a great shot. I cheered for both sides, ultimately pulling for the americans (being an american). Especially the older announcer.

I'm sure i'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but they just didn't seem too objective to me. Other than that, I loved watching the matches, with the sound off, lol.

EDIT: The best part of it all was Woody falling in the water!
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?
