– Brady Leads American Triumph in Presidents Cup Opener
Tom Brady’s passion for golf is well documented - NFL fans will never forget his iconic “U-turn” away from the Super Bowl parade when his driver got sight of the course – and he has been at Quail Hollow this week to captain the American team at the 2022 Presidents Cup.
After a casual grilling and meet and greet with his squad on Tuesday, Brady got serious ahead of the curtain-raiser fourballs on Thursday morning and patrolled the course urging his stars on in their practice rounds.
Brooks Koepka led from the front as he partnered Scottie Scheffler to a dominant 4&3 win over Mito Pereira and Christiaan Bezuidenhout in the top match.

- Jason Day Delivers Clutch Performance for Internationals
Jason Day was the hero for the Internationals on Friday at Royal Melbourne, making several key putts throughout the day to keep his team in contention.The 32-year-old Australian, who won two of the four Presidents Cups he’s played in, birdied the 16th and 17th holes to halve his match with Tiger Woods.
Day then made a clutch putt on the 18th hole to give the Internationals a 1-up victory. Day’s heroics helped the Internationals win the morning foursomes session, 3-1, and left them trailing the United States just 4-2 overall after the first day of competition.
Day’s performance was a reminder of why he is one of the most feared players in the world. He is a long hitter with a great short game, and he is always a threat to win.
