“The results don’t do justice for how close these matches were,” Hughes said. “If we played the last couple holes better in a few matches, this thing could swing the other way.” The Presidents Cup sees 12 Americans play 12 golfers from around the world, excluding Europe. The Ryder Cup, when the U.S. plays Europe’s top players, is held on opposite years.Showmanship was an integral part of the Internationals’ strategy throughout the tournament. They had repeatedly said they were trying to make the most of their home-field advantage at Royal Montreal to try and overcome a stacked American roster that featured five of the top 10 players in the world.
