The pause to act like you're taking the picture and then saying ok got it, while still videoing is gold.

The poise amongst the confusion is impressive. Stayed calm, snapped the picture, reengaged for a handshake. Beautifully done. You’ve come along way since “Where are you stationed?”

The USA team for the Presidents Cup is quite strong, so it is hard to imagine any other nation winning this year’s Quail Hollow tournament. However, the international team does have a slim chance of upsetting the fans. Many top global players have left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf, so the American team will have their work cut out for them if they want to come out on top.
Friday was an upsetting day for the international team. They will need to step up their game if they want to take the victory at the Presidents Cup this year. The USA team has dominated since the tournament’s inception in 1994. And after their strong performance on Friday, they are here to win.
