Former main champion Wealthy Beem displays on one other dominant victory for Group USA within the Presidents Cup, what went flawed for the Worldwide Group on residence soil and the way the USA can take positives from their success into subsequent yr’s Ryder Cup…
The Presidents Cup is getting extra aggressive, there is not any doubt about that, and I feel that the Internationals are actually beginning to construct their very own id. They actually offered loads of pleasure this week!
America bought off to an unbelievable begin on Thursday, profitable 5-0, the place abruptly we have been all considering ‘oh my gosh, this might be over already’. The Internationals then got here again with their clear sweep of the USA facet, which no person noticed coming.
I feel Mike Weir misplaced it on Saturday by not mixing up a few of his pairings going into the afternoon foursomes. I feel that was a mistake and I feel he’ll mirror upon that, however they clearly had a recreation plan going into it.
Placing Adam Scott on the market for the fourth straight match on Saturday afternoon, on the age of 44, was the flawed resolution. I imply he needed to have been drained and even Scott stated himself that evening that he was drained.
You then have a look at the place Weir put him out within the singles – he was down in one of many backside teams. I’d have thought {that a} contemporary Scott – had he not performed on Saturday afternoon – might need been within the high three matches and I feel that is the place you wanted him.
The Worldwide facet has bought every kind of recreation, however when you have got as a lot depth as the USA facet, it is a large distinction. Anyone can beat anyone on one given day, however when you stretch it out to 4 completely different days, that is a distinct factor.

Time to vary the Presidents Cup?
I can promise you that the Internationals are bored with shedding. Till the Internationals do get that subsequent win, it may be harder and harder for them to drag it off.
The longer you go with out profitable, the tougher it’s to win. We have heard that within the particular person recreation and one thing’s bought to vary right here however, proper now, nothing on the horizon means that it’s.
They have to determine whether or not it is the venue, whether or not it is the purpose system, or one thing else that is bought to vary a little bit bit, as a result of the People are simply going to proceed to churn out younger, nice gamers.
Why not change it again to a few days, to imitate the Ryder Cup? That approach, when you have guys that are not taking part in that nice, you’ll be able to disguise them a little bit bit.

Keegan Bradley says he’ll carry the tradition captain Jim Furyk set for his or her Presidents Cup victory into the 2025 Ryder Cup.
You additionally then have one further day of relaxation if these gamers need to play the week earlier than, like Adam Scott, Byeong Hun An and Si Woo Kim did on the BMW PGA Championship.
There’s a number of other ways of it, however proper now I feel America are simply actually sturdy and so they know that they are that sturdy versus the Internationals. They don’t seem to be afraid of them, however we nonetheless have our worry of the Europeans.
