Sam Burns Begging Canada To Boo Him, Tom Kim Turning Into Enemy Number 1 - The Presidents Cup Has Finally Turned Into A Real Rivalry
There we go, Sam. This is how you respond after winning 3 straight holes and flipping a match from 2 down to 1 up. This is what Team USA needs. Scottie got into it with Tom Kim on Thursday, but they are friends and Scottie hasn't been the dominant Scottie we know during the Presidents Cup. Sam Burns though? He's the exact sort of guy we need to piss off fans when we're on the road. He's not the flashy name, usually fans bitch when he makes a team but he's the glue guy. He's won every match he's been in so far - both with Cantlay in four ball. A win here and we're talking about Sam Burns as one of the key parts to the US heading into singles matches.
At the same time, Tom Kim is enemy number 1. No other way to put it:
Him and Si Woo Kim keep winning. He keeps doing all these antics. We have to turn on Tom Kim during the Presidents Cup. I don't care what you think about Tom Kim the golfer, we're talking about Tom Kim vs the US for the Presidents Cup here. That's where we gotta draw a sand in the line. The Presidents Cup is too close - we're up 8-6 and the afternoon session is 2-2 as I blog this. Can't be having this sort of mental warfare and let them get away with it. Make Tom Kim putt EVERY SINGLE PUTT now.
It's no secret the Presidents Cup needed some juice. We have it. It started with the sweep yesterday to make it 5-5 and now we're getting it even more with some emotion. Need Scottie to figure it out, Sam Burns to keep pissing off Canada and a US win. Go into tomorrow up at least 2 points is the goal.
