An Exciting Outcome in Presidents Cup, Nothing More
INCHEON, South Korea — The best Presidents Cup in 10 years revealed exactly what the Americans need to do if they want to win the Ryder Cup.
Lobby for an increase in points.
The International team long believed that playing more matches gave the Americans an advantage because of their depth, and the fact this Presidents Cup wasn't decided until the final match suggests some truth to that.
It was a petty argument. The International team was disappointed the matches were not reduced from 34 to 28, and the Americans were irritated by a compromise that reduced them to 30. This was as close as the Presidents Cup has ever come to hard feelings.
