Scottie Scheffler (US), the world’s no. 1 player, was not shaken by the provocation and tremendous energy of Kim Joo-hyung, “a runaway locomotive.” Kim Joo-hyung faced Scheffler and Russell Henry (US) in a four-ball match on the first day of the Presidents Cup held at Royal Montreal Country Club in Montreal, Canada on the 27th (Korea time), but suffered defeat by trailing three holes with two holes left.
On the first day of the Presidents Cup, a men’s golf competition between the United States and Europe, the United States, which aims to win 10 consecutive tournaments, won all five games.
The result leaves more regret than ever for the international team. The biggest gap is that the Lim Sung-jae and Kim Joo-young lost the match by a gap of three holes. Jason Day and Ahn Byeong-hun, who were the first to join the team, lost to Xander Shopley and Tony Finau of the US, by a gap of one hole. Adam Scott and Lee Min-woo of the Australian team also lost to Collin Morikawa of the Australian team by a gap of one hole. Taylor Fendris of Canada and Christian Bezuidenhout of South Africa also failed to draw at the 18th hole.
Having lost all five of their matches by a narrow margin, the International team sharpened its sword to seek revenge on the second day. The group has been completely divided into groups completely different from the first day. The groups that are drawing the most attention on the second day are “K Golf” Kim Si-woo and Ahn Byung-hoon, who will also play against the Scheffler and Henry groups. Attention is focusing on whether they can take revenge on Lim Sung-jae and Kim Joo-hyung, who lost on the first day.
Im Sung-jae is grouped with Hideki Matsuyama, the “Japanese ace,” and will face Shopley, the world’s No. 2 player, and Patrick Cantlay, the no. 9 players. Both Im Sung-jae and Matsuyama are expected to have stable game management as their strengths. Veteran Scott and Pendris Cho of the international team will face Shigala and Morikawa of the United States, while Bezuidenhout and Day seek victory over Max Homa and Brian Harmon.
The biennial Presidents Cup first began in 1994, and the US has dominated the cup with 12 wins, one draw and one loss. Notably, the cup has been on a winning streak for nine consecutive times since 2005. Due to their unilateral performance, some even argue that the cup is useless. Men’s golf competitions include the International Crown and the Ryder Cup, the US-Europe golf competition.
