President's Cup

Team International is loaded.

For once, I feel the US is the underdog. Singh, Goosen, Els, Weir, Price, Appleby, Scott.....Take it to the Yanks. However, I do like Jack as the captain, still pulling for Team International though.

The United States should have had the tournament wrapped up today. Very easily could have been winning 5-1. Weir and Price won the last two holes to win 1up and Els and Scott won the last three to win 1up. Haas and Funk gave away the last two holes to tie Allenby and Leaney I believe. Good to see the US choke. As for the tournament wrapped up comment, I heard today that in the four previous editions of the Presidents Cup, the team that was winning after the first day won the overall title.

BTW, 3.5 - 2.5 is the score after the first day with all matches complete.

GEORGE, South Africa -- The South Africans are justifiably proud of what they call the "Big Five," the ample assortment of buffalo, elephants, lions, leopards and rhino that roam free on the country's many wildlife reserves.

On Saturday at The Presidents Cup, the International Team had not five, but 12 who came up big and won all six Four-Ball matches. The sweep was only the third in history and staked Gary Player's side to a 12½-9½ advantage entering Sunday's finale.



And Tiger loses again. Europeans only need to win 5 of the 12 matches tomorrow to win the Presidents cup.
