American golf is preparing for a new coronation in the President’s Cup, the competition that pits men’s golf in that country against the rest of the world except Europe. After Saturday, the Davis Love III leaderboard wins by 11 points to 7, a juicy distance to face the 12 singles at Quail Hollow field, Charlotte (North Carolina).
At least the fourballs on Saturday, four, behind as many quartets (alternative shots of the couple) have served not to decant the competition definitively. The reaction of Trevor Immelmann’s team in the afternoon prevented the sentence. So, Si Woo Kim and young, 20-year-old Tom Kim – who won both matches of the day as did Adam Scott – beat Cantlay and Schauffele on the last hole, just like the aforementioned Aussie and Cameron Smith did a few minutes later. against Horschel and Burns, in the match that ended the day. Previously Sungjem Im and Sebastin Muoz had won 3 and 2 with the rock couple Finau and Kisner. (See results)
America’s only four-ball win It came from the hands of this edition’s do: Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. Four games and four wins. In the morning they had crushed Im and Corey Conners (4 and 3). They then repeated themselves against Japanese Hideki Matsuyama and rookie Taylor Pendrith. Only Woods and Stricker (2009) and Ooshtuizen and Branden Grace (2019) had reached a plenary session.
Under these circumstances, the international team is expected to break the record by 7.5 points in singles to reach a draw. None of the contenders has ever reached the figure of 8.5, necessary for Immelmann’s men to overturn the accounts. The United States reached 8 in 1994 and 2019.
