Gross unsportsmanlike conduct
“They have completely lost their minds”
Rude unsportsmanlike conduct, spiteful exchanges, a striptease after losing a bet, beer and cigars - the Presidents Cup in Montreal provided plenty to discuss.
Golfers are not always gentlemen. This was also evident at the Presidents Cup in Montreal, where Team USA battled it out with the rest of the world (except Europe). The duo of Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim in particular attracted negative attention. The Koreans got into it with Scottie Scheffler when they cheered into one of his shots and then left the hole on the next green before Scheffler had finished his putt in a rare display of unsportsmanship. "Golf Digest" wrote of the Kims: "They have completely lost their minds."
"That was bad sportsmanship"
Basketball giant Steph Curry's Olympic-style celebratory aria with the "good night" gesture did not go down well either. Tom Kim saw it differently. He complained that the US golfers had cursed at their opponents: "That was bad sportsmanship." Someone didn't clean up after themselves.
Teammates supplied with chilled beer at press conference
More amusing was how the American Kevin Kisner performed a striptease before the winners' press conference after losing a bet against his team-mate Max Homa. On the podium, "Kis" then provided his team-mates with chilled beer. Xander Schauffele treated himself to a winner's cigar.
Incidentally, the victory in the clear 18.5:11.5 triumph for the Americans was secured by future US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley. It was the 13th win for the US team in the 15th edition of the Presidents Cup and the tenth in a row.
