Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns to face Japanese duo
AFTER the United States was walloped 5-0 in Friday’s five foursomes at the Presidents Cup, captain Brandt Snedeker is relying on a mix of old and new to start Saturday off right.
Brandt Snedeker, the captain of the US team, announced that Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns will face off against Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Hisatsune, representing Japan. This will be the third time Scheffler and Burns will play together, but for the first time, they will face each other in the anchor match rather than the opening match.
Prior to this match, Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivun will take on Min Woo Lee and Sungjae Im from Australia, while Chris Gotterup and Cameron Young will play against Nick Taylor and Corey Conners from Canada. The Korean duo of Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim will continue to partner together for the third consecutive session, facing off against Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark.
The US team has won all their matches thus far, but Snedeker acknowledged the need to reassess their strategy as they are still early in the Presidents Cup competition.
