Tiger Woods knew he had to set the tempo with Team US trailing 8-10 in Sunday’s singles. He also knew he had to be there at the finish if they were to halt a determined young International team.
Team USA fought back in Saturday afternoon’s foursomes to cut the Internationals’ lead to 10-8 on the penultimate day’s action in the Presidents Cup at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Tiger Woods won his second match but the young guns on the opposite side were a match for the second day in a row as the Internationals continued to lead USA in the Presidents Cup.
The Internationals opened up a shock 4-1 lead over defending champions USA on day one of the Presidents Cup at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club on Thursday.
“As captain, I’m going to choose Tiger Woods as the last player on the team,” Tiger Woods said to complete his team for the Presidents Cup in Australia this December.
Internationals team captain Ernie Els has named Korea’s K.J. Choi, South Africa’s Trevor Immelman and Canadian Mike Weir as his final three captain’s assistants for the 2019 Presidents Cup.
