Best thing that could happen to the Presidents Cup would be the US losing one.
Free consulting advice to grow this event and make people care is to add the gals to it in some way.
It was entertaining yesterday. Really good golf. Korea was carrying the International squad until Patty Ice shut down Tom Kim on 18

I met Bill Russell at Broadmor CC checking in on a crew there as we did the dining room. Got a free round of golf there
Jack NIcklaus played the 1962 Seattle Open there. I was NOT there
