Some of the most exciting golf I have ever seen, especially on a Saturday afternoon. ;)

Same for me.

Some good golf, I'm sure.  Good players; match play is fun; course performed well.
But the outcome was predictable.  And, as even Jason Day said, the match was not really important.  Only Tom Kim seemed to think it was.
I don't know what the future of the Presidents Cup is.  If it weren't owned and promoted by the PGA Tour--unlike the Ryder Cup which is owned by the PGA of America--there would be no Presidents Cup.
But, this is the off-season for golf in the US as it can't compete with the NFL, so maybe it's better than nothing.  But only a little bit better.

Unless the earth stopped rotating, the USA was going to win. I just enjoyed watching the matches. Friday and Saturday had some of the most exciting golf of the year.

I don't understand why anyone would prefer watching singles medal play over team match play.

How many of you play four ball of some sort (nassau, skins, wolf, etc.) at home?

Why quote Jason Day after he lost big? Clearly more upsets happen in match play than in medal play. Why wasn't he gunning for an upset? Clearly someone Avis wouldn't hire! ;)

It was fun to watch, especially the foursomes matches.  Some incredible play.

Completely agreed with these last couple of comments.

We get so much medal play week after week on TV, I love watching top notch players navigate the course in aggressive fashion, especially 4 somes and 4 balls formats. And its not just these guys, the US Am is typically a great watch too.

P.S.  Jason Day needs to be put to pasture and let the Si Woo Kim's do their thing; now there is a guy I'd love to have on my team!

Jason Day is ranked 33 in the OWGR; Si Woo Kim is 50  :)
