INCHEON, South Korea — Being a captain will be a little harder this week at the Presidents Cup as U.S. boss Jay Haas and International counterpart Nick Price will have to sit players in situations that in the past they would have played them all.
Just a month ago, the number of matches was reduced from 34 to 30, which will keep some players on the sidelines.
For Price, the reason for the change is clear: reduce the number of points in play and make the matches more competitive. The Internationals have not won these biennial matches since 1998 and are 1-8-1 in the series.
