00:00So here's what we've got. Jason Day and Ben Onn against Xander Schauffele and Tony Finau.

00:07That is the first match out. Sunjay Im and Tom Kim against Scotty Scheffler and Russell

00:12Henley. That is another. Hideki Matsuyama and Corey Connors against Cantley and Burns.

00:17That's going. And then Pendreth and Besidenhout against Clark and Bradley. Adam Scott and

00:22Minwui against Morikawa and Tagawa. I didn't put them in the exact order, Keith, because

00:28I know the Matsuyama and Connors one is the last match of the day that's going to go out.

00:33But either way, your first thought when you saw the matchups come up on the board about

00:37an hour ago. Well, I tell you what, the pairings are different than what a lot of people would

00:42have expected. We've officially split up Xander and Patrick Cantley. Scotty Scheffler with

00:48Russell Henley in four balls is interesting. I mean, we're playing four ball tomorrow.

00:52Five four ball matches, not four sums. You would have thought Russell Henley would have

00:56been a great pair for Scotty. World number one. I mean, I don't know where Russell Henley

01:00stepped in this week, but he's definitely, I mean, he's blessed to get to play with Scotty

01:03Scheffler, at least in four balls. And you know what? If the practice rounds mean anything,

01:08this is what the Americans have done both days, both Tuesday and Wednesday. These are

01:13the groups that they played in. These are the matches that they played head to head

01:16with one another within their groups. These are the pairings that I expect to see back

01:21and forth between the alternate shot and the four ball tomorrow and again on Saturday

01:26when we have both sets of matches. And that's Shoffley Finau group right off the bat. I

01:32mean, a huge favorite to start over day and on. And you know, what a statement by Captain

01:39Furyk when, you know, what's cool about the President's Cup, Mike, that I love is that

01:44the captains go back and forth giving each. It's like a snake draft in fantasy football.

01:48It's like, I know what you're doing, so I'm going to counter with something else. And

01:52that's really, really cool. Weir has to go first. You know, the defending, the winning

01:56cup captain from the last time around gets the right to either take the pick or defer.

02:01Well, of course, they always defer. They want to get the other guy to say something first.

02:06Weir does that. He puts out day and on, which seems like kind of a weak team. And then he

02:10goes heavy right off the bat. Give me a point with Zander and Finau. And then he backs it

02:15up with the two California boys, Colin at the gala. They look like they have a really

02:19nice bond going right now. And that hammer time, you get Scottie Scheffler and the third

02:24one, the anchor match. You got to love Patrick Cantlie. I mean, he he is. He is a match play

02:31dog. Everyone loves to talk about Max Homa and the grit of this guy and that guy. This

02:35guy just gets it done. I mean, it is a it is a great card for the Americans and on the

02:40international side, they got their big guns out there. They got to hope for the best.
