Snedeker rests Scheffler ahead of Presidents Cup singles
The US captain said Scottie Scheffler accepted his omission from Saturday afternoon’s lineup as Team USA prepared for Sunday’s singles.
US captain Brandt Snedeker said Scottie Scheffler accepted being left out of Saturday afternoon’s Presidents Cup lineup, describing him as a team player focused on what was best for the side.
Snedeker said television personnel told Scheffler about the decision before he could speak to him. He said he wanted the golfer to rest and receive treatment, adding that the team had run him hard in previous years.
Scheffler had won two of his three matches, according to Yahoo Sports, though the article described his play as below his usual standard. Snedeker said he was concerned Scheffler was carrying too much responsibility for the team and wanted him to conserve energy for Sunday.
The International Team took a 10.5–7.5 lead into the singles, with five points from the 12 matches needed to secure the title.
