United States salvage Day 2 at 2019 Presidents Cup

The United States avoided disaster on Day 2 at the Presidents Cup. There was a real chance as the last few rounds were coming to a close that they'd fall behind 8-2. After a few clutch putts, they managed a halve of the day and trail 6.5-3.5. Abraham Ancer has the most points in the entire event, with 65.75 regular cup points. He's sub-20% owned in most contests and has won both of his first two matches. Louis Oosthuizen is in second place as far as DK Scoring goes, but is sitting the first match of Day 3. Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods are the two top US scorers.

Match Play Spotlight: Dustin Johnson ($9,400)

Johnson (CP $14,100) is an interesting decision point this week. He’s coming off of knee surgery back in September and just withdrew pre-tournament last week to prepare for the Presidents Cup. I’d imagine there’s a very small chance that he actually plays every match given his health. It becomes a game-theory decision at that point. Is four matches of DJ better than five matches of some other golfer? In his career, he’s 19-16-1 in singles and 11-11-1 in team play.
