The golf in the first session at the Presidents Cup is horrible. It’s atrocious. Ugly. Awful. It’s not what you would expect from 24 of the best players in the world on a relatively easy course set up mostly to promote birdies. There have been eight balls dumped in the water -- on one hole (the 11th)! And that’s with just 10 balls live in five matches out on the course, not some full field dumping them in the drink.
The golf has been awful at the Presidents Cup and these back-to-back chunks sum it up
Cover your eyes, it’s ugly out there.
The golf is bad on both sides, with a variety of chunked chips, sliced drives and duffed wedges. But the Internationals are on the wrong side again, and this sequence from partners Marc Leishman and Danny Lee sums up the first session best.
There have been so many concessions before the match even gets to the green because of all the awful shots and balls plunging into the water. Leishman picked up this ball after he chunked his and then NBC cut to Steven Bowditch and Jason Day rocketing balls into the water on consecutive shots.
It’s ugly out there and reinforcing that this is, well, an exhibition. Might be time to turn in ...
I've watched a lootttttt of poor golf shots. That's my cue. G'nite!
