Donald Trump at risk of being given humiliating task after history repeats itself in USA disaster at Presidents Cup

Donald Trump will be at the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, where he is expected to present the trophy to the winning team, just like he did in 2017.It is tradition that the President of the hosting country serves as Honorary Chairman of the event. Trump has accepted the role for the second time, and will be in Illinois for the final day on Sunday to cap off a sports-filled weekend after watching Texas’ college football showdown with Tennessee on Saturday.Trump presented the United States with the trophy when they won in 2017, and accepted the role presumably hoping to be doing the same this year as Team USA searches for its 11th straight victory against the International team.But instead, he looks at risk of facing the humiliating task of giving the trophy to the International team for just the second time in history, with the United States left staring at defeat after a disastrous second day.It has not been confirmed Trump will be involved in the trophy presentation, but the Presidents Cup announcement of his role noted he did so nine years ago. He also presented Shane Lowry with the Irish Open trophy when he attended that golf event earlier this month While there is still a lot of golf left to be played, USA suffered a disastrous second day, just like they did at the Ryder Cup last year when Trump was on hand to watch them suffer a crushing blow that proved too much to overcome.  Donald Trump presented the United States with the Presidents Cup trophy in 2017 Trump is Honorary Chairman of this year’s event again and will be at Medinah on SundaThis time around, there are two days instead of one left to mount a comeback, but the US team was shut out in Friday’s foursomes as the Internationals took a 7-3 overall lead, tied for the largest in Presidents Cup history through two sessions.USA captain Brandt Snedeker insisted it is far from over after Friday’s disastrous day, but admitted: ‘It didn’t go great.’He continued: ‘I feel like our guys played pretty well, all in all. I know the scoreboard doesn’t reflect it, but we’re only one-third of the way through this thing. There’s a lot of golf left to play. ‘We’ve got a lot of high-character guys in our room. I love the way the guys competed today. It’s a long golf tournament. I keep telling those guys this is a football game and we’re not even at halftime yet. ‘We’ve got three more sessions to go, a lot of golf in front of us. I’m really confident in our guys. I’m really confident in what they bring to the table.’I’m excited about this challenge. We have it in front of us for the next 54 holes really.’Given last year’s Ryder Cup loss, the United States team is facing serious heat over their performances in team events, unless they can pull off a massive weekend comeback.Defending his players, Snedeker said: ‘These guys care so much. These guys love being on these teams. They love playing for their country.   The United States suffered a miserable second day against the International team in Illinois The visitors lead 7-3 with two days left to play and the United States in need of a big comeback’They love playing for each other. I love teams like that. I think the American people should be damn proud of those 12 guys. ‘These guys are competitive. I’m going to keep saying this until I’m blue in the face: These guys are competitive. They don’t like losing anything. They certainly don’t like where we are right now.’But we’re one-third of the way through this. There’s a helluva lot of golf in front of us, and I’m telling you, these guys are going to come out firing tomorrow.’United States star Xander Schauffele admitted: ‘They played really well today. If you look through their alternate shot, they were 4-under, 5-under through a lot, which is some really good golf today with it a little bit cooler and some really tricky pins.’It felt like an uphill battle for us from early. Luckily the session is over, and we’ve got 70 percent of the points in front of us.’
