Presidents Cup picks Day, Niemann miss Mayakoba cut

With the Presidents Cup less than a month away, Ernie Els is hoping to see his players arrive in Australia with momentum.

"They have just got to get their form going," Els said earlier this week in South Africa. "If they get themselves on form, if they play to their ability, I think we can really win the Cup."

With that said, the International captain probably didn’t like what he saw out of two of his captain’s picks Saturday in Mexico.

Jason Day and Joaquin Niemann combined to shoot 7 over in two rounds at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, each missing the cut at El Camaleon Golf Club.
