INCHEON, South Korea — Shortly after his side jumped out to a 4-1 lead in foursomes on Thursday at the Presidents Cup, U.S. captain Jay Haas had the honors in putting forth the first team for Friday’s four-ball matches.
Haas stacked his lineup, sending World No. 1 Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson out first. What did International team captain Nick Price think of the move?
“He’s going for the kill,” Price said. “I’d do the same thing. He wants to shut us down fast.”
Price countered with South Africans Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen, the lone winning pair for the Internationals on Thursday.
