International Spots For Presidents Cup Almost As Intriguing

The International team situation for this fall's Presidents Cup has its own set of storylines, with the most obvious being the state of the Aussie's hoping to make the team for Royal Melbourne. Doug Ferguson explains Geoff Ogilvy's situation, which improved after he advanced to Cog Hill after a last hole birdie at TPC Boston:

Ogilvy is likely to be a pick. He doesn't want it come down to that.

"Obviously, you would want as many Australians on the team as you could. That's only natural," said Ogilvy, who has a house off the fairway at Royal Melbourne. "But you also have to balance that with the 12 best players to give you a chance to win. If there was an obvious great player - Ernie Els or somebody who was out - it would be hard to pick two Australians ahead of that. If everything else is equal, you'd pick the Australians.

"But," he added, "nothing is ever equal."

Ogilvy was a 21-year-old who had just turned pro when the Presidents Cup first came to Australia. He remembers missing the cut in New Zealand and flying home to watch Australia's biggest golfing event ever at the time.

"I never had seen anything like that," he said. "I had never heard noise like that. It was an amazing affair."

He barely trails Louis Oosthuizen...remember him?

Also noteworthy: Jason Day has taken the points lead and as of now, Kyung-tae Kim ranks fifth behind Adam Scott, the Elephant Killer and K.J. Choi.
