President's Cup Matches Discussion Thread

[Silent]

So you have US vs Europeans, US vs Int'l. Just curious if Int'l vs Europeans was ever considered? Is there a market for it? 

 

Not sure. Since recently there's the EurAsia Cup (second edition somewhere early in the 2016 season). I don't think there will be a market for Int'l vs Europe when Europe already have two other competitions like that. Maybe when we get rid of the EurAsia Cup. That doesn't really do it for me, only reason I was interesed in watching it was because Luiten played in it. While the Ryder Cup always is a big interest for me.

Too bad this isn't the Ryder Cup! USA coming out strong.

Because it isn't the Ryder Cup, America is coming out strong! ;)

With foursomes and teams like Mickelson/Zach and Spieth/DJ, I wonder how they settled on which ball to use and if their company pissed about it.

Zach is loyal to Titleist and Phil to Callaway. I bet they decided on Titleist.

Same with Spieth (Titleist) and DJ (Taylormade).

 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one of the companies legit made a ball that blends the characteristics of the two balls and got them something they both wanted haha, that's the level that these guys are taking it to!

I think they use which ever ball the player is sponsor by that tees off on each hole. So Titleist ball when Zach and Speith tees off and use Callaway when Phil tees off and Taylormade when Dustin tees off.

Pretty disappointed in the quality of the golf right now.  Especially the way it seems they're all butchering 14 today.  Same thing happened at 10 yesterday.

Soooo many really poor shots.  Pick it up guys!!!

Branden Grace winning his first two matches, he went 0-4-0 in his last Presidents Cup.

 

Today's first point goes to the International Team.

A bit frustrating watching the Aussies coughing up more points today.

How good was Phil's hole out from the bunker!?!

[nevets88]

Rookie move man, my bad.

Can anyone explain how you can lose 2 points on one hole in team match play. I understand the rule but it seems like that was made for single match play not team.

Phil shares his thoughts on whether he cost his team a 1/2 point.

So, basically, he said "yes" but just with a rrally

cocky undertone. :P
