MONTREAL – Hoping for a reversal of fortunes, International captain Mike Weir sent out the same eight players from the morning for the afternoon foursomes at the Presidents Cup. It's the first time that's happened in Presidents Cup history.

International Team Bonds At Montreal Canadiens Game Captain Mike Weir has used hockey to bring the International team together ahead of this weeks Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club. He had the 12 golfers from five different countries attend the Montreal Canadiens pre-season game.

The sweep marked the fifth time that one team shut out the other in a session and the result each time has been the Americans wielding the brooms. The last time it happened also came at Royal Montreal in 2007. So much for hostile. The U.S. has never lost when leading after the first day. So there’s that.
