Brandt Snedeker emphasizes reset mindset for Team USA at Presidents Cup

Summary

At Medinah on September 21, Brandt Snedeker led Team USA during a light practice ahead of the Presidents Cup. He stressed the importance of approaching the tournament with a fresh mindset, despite the team's dominant track record in recent years. With three players new to the event, Snedeker aims to instill a sense of being 0-0. International captain Geoff Ogilvy faces the challenge of overcoming historical losses while hoping home-course familiarity may provide a slight advantage. The tournament will showcase 12 top players from each team, including emerging rookie Jackson Koivun for the Americans and seasoned veteran Adam Scott for the Internationals.

What they're saying

"
The Americans broke into three groups on a light day of practice Monday at Medinah, all of them looking comfortable and trading occasional barbs. The Presidents Cup always seems to feel like a happy occasion, and for good reason: They almost never lose. There was that one loss in Australia when the matches were so late in the year that the U.S. players spent most of their time online shopping for the holidays until they realized they were in a hole so deep there was no way out except to suffer a big loss.
