JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Two weeks ago, Adam Scott was glancing over the International Presidents Cup team standings when he was asked which name stood out to him.
“Abraham Ancer,” he said with little hesitation.
Scott, who will again be the International side’s team leader, explained that Ancer has the perfect game for Royal Melbourne, site of this year’s matches, and he also has some experience there – having finished runner-up at last year’s World Cup that was held on the sand-belt gem.
Ancer gave his Presidents Cup chances a boost on Friday at The Northern Trust where he carded a second-round 65 to move into third place.
