Not sure I will be watching any President's Cup golf. Marketed as USA  v  Rest of the World - but only if you play on the PGA Tour so quality Rest of World players like Schaper, Jarvis, Niemann, Smith etc do not qualify. Looks like a complete damp squib to me.

Open de France

Not sure what to make of the course. Holes 4 - 6 new with six other greens remodeled, new tees on several holes and grass changed to Bentgrass. Some pundits saying not much difference and others say a virtual new course. I'm skipping course form and going with

The Presidents Cup hype is almost non existent but I will watch it anyway 

2 plays 

Tom Kim Top International at 6/1 
Cam Young Top USA at 10.5/1 

Did anyone have the Internationals leading 7-3 at the end of day 2? 

I see they betting 1/1 both teams and 17/2 the tie 

USA poor in alternate shots ( According to the stats chaps 6-24 for the last 30 in RC + PC ) but was not expecting a five zip.

I feel a bit of an over reaction from the books so I have taken some of that 11/10 USA floating around.

I hoped on the Ihternationals at 1/1 - I feel USA have a few players that are struggling and I like the spirit in the Internationals 

The only positive thing I can say is that at least the Internationals won't be behind heading into the foursomes 

Wow what a day, there were times when USA looked likely to win each session 4-0 but credit to Internationals for fighting back and they take a 3 point lead into the singles - they need 5 points from 12 to win the Cup and latest betting is 

Internationals 15/20 
USA 16/10 
Tie 5.95/1 

Greens were really getting quick yesterday - should be a great watch 

Two double for me on Day 4

First one - Henley has looked dodgy and Bez always wins his singles match.
Second - Australia used up all their luck in Perth this morning


Taylor/Henley - Bezuidenhout/Gotterup  @  5/1

Cantlay/Scott - Bridgeman/Lee  @  47/20


There is only one score today that can prevent both Brent and myself ending the weekend on a high. Several beers on Day 4

USA win  7.5 - 4.5  @  25/1
