Presidents Cup: United States Will Cruise to Repeat Victory
The US hasn't faced any pressure since the first day of the Presidents Cup—and they aren't going to face any on Sunday. Holding a 13-9 lead, they only need 4.5 points out of 12 to keep the cup and that certainly won't be an issue. It's easy to project five wins for the US tomorrow.
Webb Simpson had been playing very well coming in. He's gone 3-1 this weekend. With this being the first match of the day, and the way Simpson is playing, the Americans will put the Internationals even further on their heels to start the day.
Carl Scwartzel should beat Dustin Johnson in the second match. Johnson has not been playing well this weekend, with as many bogeys, three, as birdies. Scwhartzel has a history of playing well under pressure.
The other half of the Simpson pairing, which has won three wins, is Bubba Watson, though. He'll be going against Ryo Ishikawa tomorrow, and the young Japanese player is the least familiar with the course. Watson has two tournament wins this year and is playing at a high level. It's hard to believe that he won't win.
That's two.
Phil Mickelson is 3-0 this weekend. He's 11-0-2 in Ryders Cup play. It's not likely that Adam Scott is going to beat him tomorrow. Everything is working for Mickelson, and when he's putting well, he's almost unbeatable.
That's three.
Even Tiger Woods has a chance to get in on the winning action, as he faces Aaron Baddeley. While it's true that Woods hasn't had a lot of wins this week, in singles play it'll be a different story. Woods has a good history, going 8-3-1 in match play in the Presidents Cup and Ryders Cup.
That's four.
Steve Stricker played well on Saturday and should get another win tomorrow going against YE Yang. It won't come down to it, but if it happens by some miracle that the Internationals are still in the hunt on the final match, Stricker will win it.
That's five.
That's the tournament.
