You would be forgiven if you looked at the team score in the Presidents Cup — United States 11, Internationals 7 — and believed it to be going just about the same as it always has in this event. After all, it’s the same score through three days as the event two years ago, and it would surprise few if the U.S.
finished off a 13th win in 15 tries Sunday at Royal Montreal Golf Club. Advertisement However, you’d be wrong! Quite a bit happened Saturday in Montreal. Drama.
Late-afternoon (evening, really) thrills, as one golfer after another hit a big shot and celebrated in a way you rarely see in this sport. It was great, full stop. And Brody Miller and Gabby Herzig are here to talk about it and set up the Sunday singles matches.
What was the best thing you saw Saturday? Brody Miller: The actual best moment? It was Si Woo Kim, dead to rights, standing on a steep hill above the bunker on 16 with the match seemingly about to end. Was the ball actually embedded to earn them a drop? Who knows. But Kim hit an absolutely incredible flop that landed just past the greenside rough and slowly rolled in the cup for an all-time Mongolian reversal (seemingly the buzz phrase of the week) to ultimately send the thrilling match with Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele to 18 holes.
And, yes, he did the “night-night” celebration for a tied match which backfired. It was glorious. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! Si Woo Kim chips in from an impossible lie to win the hole! pic.
