The Golf Blog says: Ernie Els, the captain of the International team in the President’s Cup, utilized data analytics in determining how to pair his players against the US Team. A similar approach was used by the European team at the last Ryder Cup, which they won. For 3 days, Els’ strategy was working like a charm, with his team building a 4-point lead at one point, that was cut to 2 points by the end of Saturday.
