Hot off of the presses are the matchups for day one of the Presidents Cup.  There are six matches on day one - so there is no hiding a weak player.  All of these matches are alternate shot/foursomes.

Match 1: Anthony Kim and Phil Mickelson vs. Mike Weir and Tim Clark: Mickelson is playing well of late.  Everyone else, not so much.  This may well be one of the more entertaining matches of the day only because AK is very aggressive in match play and Clark can putt from everywhere.

Match 2: Hunter Mahan and Sean O'Hair vs. Adam Scott and Ernie Els: Have to like the Americans here, but this match will be the story of the player that can putt best since all of these guys are notorious for being kind of stinky on the greens.

Match 3: Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink vs. Vijay Singh and Robert Allenby: I could consider this one a toss-up, but I think I like the Internationals here because of Robert Allenby.  He's a very strong player in the Pres Cup.  Glover and Cink are both playing excellent golf, though.

Match 4: Kenny Perry and Zach Johnson vs. Angel Cabrera and Camilo Villegas: I am truly baffled as to who to pick.  The team with the guy who is mourning the death of his mom and melted down at East Lake, or the team with the guy who has fallen off of the face of the earth since February but still made the team somehow.

Match 5: Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker vs. Geoff Ogilvy and Ryo Ishikawa: My favorite match, exclusively because I think the teams make a lot of sense.  Stricker and Woods are contrasts in style, but seem to be a hypothetical match.  Ogilvy is a(n over)thinking player who could really help steer Ishikawa, who just picked up his fourth win this year in Japan. 

Match 6: Jim Furyk and Justin Leonard vs. Retief Goosen and Y.E. Yang: Yang has to be dead tired from the life-changing event of winning the PGA Championship.  That doesn't mean that he can't or won't contribute, but Goosen isn't much to help the cause.  And I always like these scrappy American teams with the "aw shucks" guys like Furyk and Leonard. 

I should note that Golf.com's David Dusek nailed all six US pairings based upon his knowledge of the balls that the players use.  Pretty impressive.
