After a shocking first two days, where both teams swept the points and were tied 5-5, the U.S. team rolled to another Presidents Cup victory over the international team. This brings the USA's Presidents Cup record to 13-1-1 in the 30 years of the event.

We will talk about the event, give individual grades and try to figure out a way to make this event more competitive in the future. Is a mixed team event the answer? Is there no way to change the format and the international team just needs to get better? These are the questions we will attempt to answer this week on the Break 80 Podcast.

After being closed for roughly a year to do a renovation of the course, Interlachen Country Club is open again and better than ever. Interlachen CC had us out for media day and we were lucky enough to both play the course and do some interviews. Interlachen is the most historic course in Minnesota and has countless memorable moments since opening in 1909, most notably Bobby Jones victory in 1930 as part of the "grand slam."

We have a variety of interviews from Interlachen on this episode starting with architect Andrew Green. Andrew has become sort of a "Donald Ross whisperer," as he has renovated classic Ross clubs like East Lake, Oak Hill and now Interlachen. He sat down with us and gave us some insight into how renovating classic golf courses works.

Next up we had Brian Boll, Director of Golf Course and Grounds on to talk agronomy at Interlachen. You won't believe the amount of drain tile and things like drip irrigation by bunker faces and all kinds of other things that Brian goes into that it takes to keep a top notch golf course looking and playing great.

Lastly, Head Golf Professional T.J. Boulanger sat down with us to talk about what he does on a day-to-day basis at Interlachen and what he did to keep busy over the last year when the course was closed.
