VIRGINIA WATER, England – Given the International side’s record in the Presidents Cup, there’s nothing new about playing the role of underdog, but this year captain Trevor Immelman has leaned into the concept.
Having lost many key players to LIV Golf, including Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann, Immelman picked five rookies with his six captain’s picks and has acknowledged that the American team will be the heavy favorite next week at Quail Hollow. There is, however, a path to victory, at least according to International veteran Adam Scott.
“It probably sounds far off, but I think the most important thing is the 12 of us take a mindset to the course of complete freedom, whatever trigger you need to do that,” Scott said.
