What they're saying

"
U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker won’t have to second-guess the outcome of this Presidents Cup. Outplayed over three days in team matches at Medinah, the Americans flipped two key singles matches on the back nine — one from two-time major champion Collin Morikawa, the other from 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun. President Donald Trump was on the first tee for the start of 12 singles matches, and he kept his speech short.
