JERSEY CITY, N.J. While the outcome at the Presidents Cup was effectively decided Saturday, the Internationals still have a mathematical chance to pull off an unprecedented upset. But the odds are long enough that they may be better served investing in Powerball tickets.The Americans now lead the biennial matches, 14 to 3 , and need only one full point to secure what would be their seventh straight victory. For Nick Prices squad to pull off the comeback, theyd need to take 11 points from a possible 12 in Sundays singles matches at Liberty National Golf Club.How big of a long shot would that be? According to Jeff Sherman, manager at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, it equates to roughly 15,000-to-1 odds. That figure is an estimate of the odds on a 12-team parlay including each match, and Sherman said the exact payout would be $14,193.67 on a $1 bet. But no such bet can be made; Sherman noted that his casino maxes out at an eight-leg parlay for actual wagers.

The USGA didn't cave. They cut fescue on just 4 holes and on at least 2 of those holes, the area was cut was pretty much nowhere near play. The reason why it was done was because there was over an inch of rain that fell Monday night/Tuesday morning as well as high winds Monday evening so there were spots that were too thick or the pruning was done for aesthetic reasons.
