INCHEON, South Korea, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Jack Nicklaus concedes he was in a less-than-generous mood when he designed the course being used for the Presidents Cup in South Korea but is happy with recent changes to the greens and says precise putting will trump big hitting this week.
Nicklaus, a four-time captain of the biennial event which pits the United States against a team of international players minus Europeans, said he was honoured that a course bearing his name was hosting the first Presidents Cup in Asia.
Both teams have players noted for their massive distance off the tee such as Jason Day and Dustin Johnson but Nicklaus said it would be the players who negotiate the course's huge, undulating greens that would be in the ascendancy.
