Before that, the 166-yard par-3 was the subject of lore: after Ben Crenshaw played a different Composite routing on his first trip to Royal Melbourne, in 1982, he was asked what he thought about the course.
The sixth hole of the Composite (10 West) figures to be one of the defining stages of this Presidents Cup, an extremely dangerous, drivable par-4 of only 312 yards.
The Presidents Cup is a biennial event between the United States and the rest of the world, excluding Europe. The tournament runs in opposite years to the Ryder Cup, and features two teams of a dozen players.
The Presidents Cup consists exclusively of matchplay. Each match is worth a single point, with half-points given to ties, similar to the Ryder Cup.
Since its inception 1994, the Presidents Cup has been largely dominated by the Americans. The U.S. team holds a 10-1-1 record all-time in the event, but the only non-wins for the United States have come when the event has been played on foreign soil.
