INCHEON, South Korea – For Nick Price this is not personal.
With as much objective detachment as he could muster on Tuesday at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, the International captain explained that after more than two years of backroom bargaining he’s cautiously optimistic that the Presidents Cup has turned the proverbial competitive corner.
What other option does Price have? The alternative for the 58-year-old who has now dedicated four years of his adult life to being a captain – and is a five-time Presidents Cup player – is unacceptable.
But on Tuesday when pressed for his thoughts on this year’s matches Price didn’t shy away from the competitive elephant in the International team room that is America’s 8-1-1 advantage in the biennial event.
