Collin Morikawa partners with Wyndham Clark for Team USA's opening match
Summary

Collin Morikawa teams up with Wyndham Clark for the first round of the Presidents Cup at Medinah, marking his ninth partner in 15 matches. This comes amid discussions about Morikawa's inconsistent putting, which some believe affects his success in team formats. Kevin Kisner remarked that Morikawa's versatility may hinder his ability to establish strong partnerships, as he has yet to find a consistent winning combination. With a strong record in Presidents Cups, Morikawa aims to improve Team USA's performance ahead of the Ryder Cup next year.

What they're saying
"

Kevin Kisner believes that Collin Morikawa has had so many different partners across his Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup career largely due to the fact that he is not an elite putter. Morikawa will get the opportunity to play alongside his ninth different partner in just 15 fourball and foursomes matches on Thursday, with Brandt Snedeker pairing the two-time major champion with Wyndham Clark for the opening session at Medinah.
