US sweeps first day at Presidents Cup
View Date:2024-12-23 15:56:40
Tony Finau hit the first tee ball Thursday morning to kick off the 2024 Presidents Cup. Teamed with Xander Schauffele, the American duo went out against Byeong Hun An and Jason Day of the International squad at Royal Montreal Golf Club in fourballs, the first of five matches on the first day.
Canadian Mackenzie Hughes was one of the two International players getting the day off but he made his presence felt on home soil, by chugging a morning beer on the first tee to get the fans fired up.
While this event doesn’t have the drama of the Ryder Cup, there were some friendly sparks flying after Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler made back-to-back huge putts.
Through nine holes, there was a lot of red on the board but all the matches were tightly contested throughout but the Americans pulled away late in all of them.
