1st Day match. USA 4 - International 2. Let's see what happen tomorrow. Interesting matches today except for the TW/SS vs AS/KJ. No even a fight not to mention close.

tiger and stricker played badly, but i think anyone on the american team that were put up against Adam and KJ today would had lost. They were something like 7 under through 12 holes.

Can somebody please, please tell me which cable provider is screening this event and also which channel..... thank you very much.

Bro, does MIO TV has free channel showing Live as well? Thanks ...

TW looks complacent, he might catch up in the later games. But his fairway shots have been bad, this is certainly his weakest link.

pwah! Tiger/Stricker kena creamed by Choi/Scott on day 1!

Channel 201 is a free channel for all Starhub customers.

TW actually was playing well except his putts were missing.

The greens is tough and hard to read

I hope TW will play well on Sunday

Sadly the Americans won again but the Internationals fought hard to the end.
The Americans have an advantage because they play every year. One year Ryder Cup, next year President's Cup. It is time there was a Europe vs International's cup so they could rotate and give both Europe and International's more practice in the format. The other thing to consider is that the Europeans play regularly together as do the Americans hence the reason the Europeans are more competitive against the Americans than are the Internationals.

In reality the International players need to take more time to prepare and focus on the team rather than their own commitments (media or golfing tournament appearances) if they are ever going to be competitive in the foursomes (alternate shot). They proved they can match it in the singles and four ball.

It was also great to see the Americans engaging with the Australian Fanatics sporting supporters after it was all over. This competition is played in far better spirits than the Ryder Cup.

Few observations:
1. TW is definitely on the mend. Awesome play on sat and sun.
2. I don't think putting Jason day and Adam baddley is good..... The pair surname sum it up....'Badd Day'
3. Koreans Rock!!!!!

For next president cup, I hope the Lee , rory, and Sergio can take up dual residenships

it should be interesting to see what TW will bring into the mix come next year season.

There is no doubt Norman made a poor pick with Allenby however there were poor performances across the board. Ishikawa was selfish and should have turned up in Australia rather than his media commitments elsewhere and he may have performed better on the first two days. Els was a passenger for the whole event and Baddeley and Day were both disappointing under pressure.

The Koreans helped contribute to 6 points, the top 3 Australians (for comparison purposes) helped contribute 7 points and the South Africans helped contribute 7.5 points.

The 2 best individual performers were Schwartzel and Ogilvy who each helped contribute 3.5 points followed by Goosen and Choi each helping with 3 points.

Yes, the home ground knowledge certainly did not pay off and as Adam Scott said even if you know the course well you still have to hit good shots.
They are all good players but they all need more regular experience with the format of team match play.

Its easy to criticize. But honestly who could predict the result, granted the captains pick might be better. But all of this is said on hindsight.

We as spectators and fans should just enjoy the game. Watched day 1 till day 3, missed out day 4 cause I was golfing. The conditions on day 1 and day 2 was really really tough, if you haven't played in melbourne before or at st andrews with the type of winds and how hard the green was.
