Long putts. Fist pumps. Guttural screams. Just like in 2022 \u2013 anything and everything to get himself, his partner and his team revved up.<\/p>\n<p>But now it was getting spicy: Scottie Scheffler hadn\u2019t just matched Kim, but, fascinatingly, had even given it back to him \u2013 squaring him up, looking him dead in the eye and barking, \u201cWhat was that?!\u201d when his tying birdie on the seventh green tumbled into the cup.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"PagePromo\" data-align-left=\"\">\n<div class=\"PagePromo-media\"><a class=\"Link\" aria-label=\"\u2018What was that?!': Scottie Scheffler, Tom Kim match gets emotional and chippy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/golf\/news\/what-was-that-scottie-scheffler-tom-kim-match-gets-emotional-and-chippy\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/0c5d60e\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5000x2810+0+262\/resize\/500x281!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb0%2Fe7%2F21cac66f4c55bc8a9ff40fb80a68%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2173745371\"><source width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/f77757a\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5000x2810+0+262\/resize\/500x281!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb0%2Fe7%2F21cac66f4c55bc8a9ff40fb80a68%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2173745371\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"GOLF: SEP 26 Presidents Cup\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/f77757a\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5000x2810+0+262\/resize\/500x281!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb0%2Fe7%2F21cac66f4c55bc8a9ff40fb80a68%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2173745371\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"PagePromo-content\">\n<p><span>After Tom Kim birdied the seventh and got pumped up, Scottie Scheffler did the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And so when Kim rammed home another birdie on the next green, uncorking another wild celebration in which he appeared to flex behind the back of a stalking Scheffler, the intensity of this must-win Presidents Cup threatened to boil over. That\u2019s why International assistant captain Camilo Villegas gathered Kim and Sungjae Im and sent them up ahead, to the ninth green, as Scheffler lined up his attempt to tie.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler claims he didn\u2019t notice the bit of gamesmanship; he was too busy reading his putt. But partner Russell Henley was well aware of what, to some, was a disrespectful breach of etiquette.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it bothered me a little bit,\u201d Henley said.<\/p>\n<p>Villegas said afterward that he was merely trying to defuse the situation, but U.S. assistant Kevin Kisner confronted him on the next hole about a move he believed was \u201cbush league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Internationals\u2019 deficit now trimmed to one, Villegas woofed that Kisner was overreacting: \u201cWhy are you being so sensitive?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s play by the rules,\u201d Kisner replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not breaking any rules,\u201d Villegas countered.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, with the memory still fresh, Kisner said, \u201cI thought they took some gamesmanship too far and over the line and lost some integrity. This should never be about the captain, and I try not to get involved. I just thought it was pretty bush league. So I just told him: \u2018If that was the way they want to do it, game on.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What happened next helps explain why Scheffler is as competitive as he is \u2013 and why the Americans, in this event, are as dominant as they are.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler and Henley combined for four more birdies and didn\u2019t allow the Internationals to win another hole en route to a 3-and-2 victory that set the tone for the U.S. team\u2019s first opening-day sweep in 24 years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"PagePromo\" data-align-left=\"\">\n<div class=\"PagePromo-media\" data-media-type=\"video\"><a class=\"Link\" aria-label=\"2024 Presidents Cup, Day 1 fourballs: U.S. sweeps Internationals, 5-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/golf\/live\/2024-presidents-cup-day-1-fourballs-sept-26-live-updates-scores-highlights-and-results\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/b1aed83\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5865x3296+0+307\/resize\/500x281!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F64%2Feb32e7624185905414ac4d09a2a2%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2174718913\"><source width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/d39a9ba\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5865x3296+0+307\/resize\/500x281!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F64%2Feb32e7624185905414ac4d09a2a2%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2174718913\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"2024 Presidents Cup - Day One\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/d39a9ba\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5865x3296+0+307\/resize\/500x281!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production-nbc-sports.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F64%2Feb32e7624185905414ac4d09a2a2%2Fhttps-delivery-gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F2174718913\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"PagePromo-content\">\n<p><span>Follow opening-day action between the U.S. and Internationals at Royal Montreal<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As for the Internationals, it was yet another example of how they failed to meet the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than digging into the drama after the ninth-hole dustup, rather than proving they\u2019re game and unafraid, the Internationals seemed to stand down. The intensity dipped. The tension fizzled. The momentum putts failed to fall. Kim might have claimed that he doesn\u2019t \u201cshy away\u201d from Scheffler, but over the final eight holes he didn\u2019t appear fit for the fight. On the greens he acted timidly around Scheffler, a player whom he views as a big-brother figure and mentor. When Kim holed a long birdie putt on 10, he hardly emoted, perhaps reluctant to antagonize the world No. 1 once again.<\/p>\n<p>The moment, it was clear, had passed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to play with someone that you\u2019re really, really close with, but it\u2019s part of the gig,\u201d Kim said. \u201cI knew he was going to come out firing.
