L'ÎLE-BIZARD—SAINTE-GENEVIÈVE, Que. — Unsurprisingly, the golfers on the International team have turned to hockey as a bonding experience as the Presidents Cup returns to Canada for the first time in 17 years.
"We got to meet the coach, Martin St. Louis, and it was a real fun experience. We were on the bench for warm-ups and some of the guys came up and told us they were rooting for us this week." "They put us on the Jumbotron, the big screen, and it was neat. It was a fun time. Good to be with all the guys there and show them what Canada is all about."
"It's different than the U.S. Team. It just is," said Weir."We have, obviously, all these cultural differences. Not that they don't have differences too, but ours is just some cultural things. "It's amazing for all of us to bond as well from different countries," said Lee of the Habs game."A few of the other guys don't really know how to speak a hundred per cent English but we still managed to have poutine and enjoy it together.A point is up for grabs in each match, with a total of 15 1/2 points required to win the entire five-round tournament. Weir chose four-ball as the format of the first round on Thursday at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
