CHARLOTTE: An American squad with 11 of the world's 18 top-ranked players arrived Monday at the Presidents Cup as huge favourites for a ninth consecutive victory over a depleted Internationals lineup.
The Americans, who feature six rookies including Scheffler, own an 11-1-1 edge in the all-time rivalry, taking the past eight from the global squad. Their only loss came at Melbourne in 1998. "That fun vibe will continue with all the fresh blood in the team this time around," Internationals veteran Adam Scott of Australia said.It would be a stunner for the ages if the decimated global team downed one of the most formidable American sides ever, a group to rival the one that ripped Europe 19-9 in last year's Ryder Cup.
"We came so close to getting the win in 2019," Matsuyama said."It still frustrates me to think back at how close we came to getting it done.Max Homa, among the US newcomers this week, captured his fifth PGA title Sunday at the Fortinet Championship, sinking a last-hole chip-in birdie.Homa, who won his first PGA title at Quail Hollow in 2019, had something to prove after being a captain's pick.
