Americans determined to strike back at The Presidents Cup
After the shocking defeat in the Ryder Cup, team America can now look to The Presidents Cup for some respite. The Presidents Cup is also a team event but this tournament is between an International Team and USA.
Europeans are not included in the international team but a win for the Americans would remove some blemishes.
Fred Couples, who will be leading the team USA for the third time in The Presidents Cup, has said that the Americans are ready to bounce back at Muirfield Village.
The President Cup will take place from the 3rd to the 6th of October, 2013, but most of the Americans are already looking forward to it.
Many members of the current Ryder Cup squad will make it to The Presidents Cup.
Couples served assistant to Davis Love III at Medinah so he knows how disappointed the team was after the loss. Giving such statements would surely lift the morale of the whole team.
Every American squad member was obviously disappointed, including Couples, after the shocking defeat from Olazabal’s men.
"Again, I think when you get a little disappointed, you get a little edgy, you look to the future. The future for me personally is next year, The Presidents Cup captain, and for a lot of these players, it's really to bounce back and start playing golf again
and put that aside," said Fred, a soon to be World Hall of Fame golfer.
Couples was at Muirfield Village to mark the one year tee off for the event. Also present was his International team counterpart, Nick Price and legendary golfer Garry Player.
"For me personally, it's a horrible, sour note, and it's already over," he said. "But everywhere you go you're going to talk about it for a while. ... These guys are awfully good".
"When I lost to Christy O'Connor I was like freaking out because of the guys on the team. There were some big hitters,” said a disappointed Fred at Muirfield Village.
Fred also said that there will be around 10 players from the current squad who will make it in to the team for The Presidents Cup.
United States have a good record in this Cup. They have been winning it for the last eight years but this time they will be up against a pretty strong International Team.
