Golf’s next megastar? And Miracle memories: 18 Presidents Cup thoughts

The Presidents Cup returns to Medinah Country Club in Illinois, evoking memories of the historic 2012 Ryder Cup at the same venue. The article reflects on the famous "Miracle at Medinah," where the European team staged a dramatic Sunday comeback to defeat the United States. Several members of that 2012 American squad have returned to Medinah for this week's event in leadership roles.

Brandt Snedeker is serving as the U.S. captain, supported by vice captains Jim Furyk, Keegan Bradley, and Webb Simpson. Additionally, Medinah's No. 3 course has undergone an extensive restoration by OCM, which removed poorly positioned trees and reverted to Tom Bendelow's bold bunkering design to restore its spacious, Golden Age roots.
