The United States team has reduced the International side's lead at the Presidents Cup, but captain's decisions for Saturday's foursomes include benching world number one Scottie Scheffler for the session. The move is drawing attention as one of the boldest calls of the week, with the American squad attempting to complete its comeback in the remaining matches.
Why now: Sitting the world's top-ranked golfer during a tight team competition is a surprising tactical decision fans and commentators are debating.
