Scott notches 22nd Presidents Cup point as International team bounce back in style
-
Adam Scott of Australia notched a milestone as the International team dug out of a big hole on day two of the Presidents Cup, sweeping all five foursomes matches against the United States at Royal Montreal Golf Club on Sept 27.
After being swept in the four-ball matches a day earlier in Montreal, the Internationals needed nothing less than a stellar performance in the alternate-shot format to avoid going into the weekend with an almost insurmountable deficit.
And they responded in a manner that captain Mike Weir of Canada could hardly have dreamt of, turning the tables to even up the score at 5-5.
“I believed in the guys. (Going) 5-0 was obviously a bonus. We just wanted to get back in this, and the guys responded incredibly,” Weir said in a greenside interview.
Scott added: “Everyone was very focused coming out today. We knew we were in a deep hole, but no one felt discouraged. There were signs of good golf out there yesterday, but we just didn’t get it done, and we cleaned it up a little bit today.”
