Snedeker Wants Americans to Feel They’re Starting over in a Presidents Cup They Always Win
Snedeker said the Americans must start from zero as 11 of 12 players rank inside the world top 25.
On Monday, U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker told his 12-man team to "reset" at Medinah, emphasizing they are 0-0 despite past Presidents Cup success.
Facing a daunting historical hurdle, the International team, led by Geoff Ogilvy, has never won on American soil, with history remaining their biggest challenge.
Adam Scott ties Phil Mickelson's record with his 12th appearance, while rookies include 39-year-old Ryan Fox and 21-year-old Jackson Koivun, who started the year without a PGA Tour card.
Ogilvy's design company renovated Medinah, and he expects his team to gain a psychological edge; "Hopefully there will be a little advantage," he said two weeks ago.
The Americans maintain a significant depth advantage heading into the Presidents Cup, with all but two players ranked inside the world's top 25.
