Brandt Snedeker faces criticism over Presidents Cup captaincy

Brandt Snedeker's first Presidents Cup as U.S. captain ended with a trophy, but the path to victory created a debate around his leadership. The Americans erased a three-point deficit at Medinah Country Club and beat the International team 17-13. That comeback secured the United States' 11th straight Presidents Cup victory.

His choice to sit Scottie Scheffler during Saturday afternoon foursomes became the clearest flashpoint. The comeback changed the result, but it did not erase questions about how the Americans reached the brink. The decision drew added attention because Scheffler entered the event as the world's top-ranked player and a central part of the U.S. roster.
