Mike Weir's Team Aims for Comeback at Presidents Cup

Canadian Mike Weir's International Team faced a tough start at the Presidents Cup but remains hopeful about turning the tide. Despite the U.S. team's dominant performance, Weir emphasizes his squad's positive spirit and plans strategic pairings to rally for the remaining sessions.

Canadian Mike Weir's International Team faced a challenging start to the Presidents Cup on Thursday. However, the former Masters champion asserts that his team still has the chance to reverse their fortunes and halt the Americans' ongoing winning streak.

The U.S. team, entering the event as strong favorites, swept the opening day with a 5-0 score at Royal Montreal Golf Club. This has raised questions about what Weir's team needs to change for a comeback.

Weir remains optimistic, likening the situation to the first period of a hockey game. "It's not about team unity or spirit; our guys are still very positive," he told reporters. He highlighted the encouraging energy in the team despite the unfavorable results and plans an all-Canadian pairing to ignite the home crowd.
