The first day of the 2024 Presidents Cup is in the books, and the visitors are off to a hot start with a resounding 5-0 sweep of Thursday's fourball session. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from Royal Montreal, with Smylie fresh off the golf course covering the Morikawa/Theegala vs Lee/Scott match for Golf Channel. Smylie gives his thoughts on that match, plus the most exciting moment of the day as Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim squared off. The show closes with a look at all the pairings for Friday's foursomes session.
