Full disclosure: I started outlining this post-Presidents Cup column way back on Friday, right in the middle of the afternoon four-ball session, when the United States team was in the midst of racing out to an 8-2 lead through two days.
Among the major themes of the original concept were such ideas as, “Why the Presidents Cup is Broken” and “How We Can Fix the Presidents Cup” and the always thought-provoking “What to do When the Presidents Cup is Over Before Sunday.” You know, standard fare.
Well, a funny thing happened on the way to this finished product. Whether a reminder from the golf gods about how quickly momentum can shift or some bigger instructive on the virtue of patience, we found out that this event isn't broken, it doesn't need fixing and — oh, by the way — it was hardly over before Sunday.
