The matches today were closer than the final score of 11-7 indicated.   Lots of swings in the final 60-90 minutes... at one point 3-1 for the International seemed like quite the possibility, which would have made it 9-9.

In the end I do wonder if mental fatigue for all the Internationals, who strangely played 8 players the entire day, may have cost them in the last 6 holes.    Perhaps an error in strategy by Captain Mike Weir.    Ben Hun-An had played pretty well the day before.

I do wonder if it was a strategy to sit out Jason Day on the Saturday round for health reasons, otherwise it seemed like an obvious bad call.

I'm sure US Fans like it this way understandably... but I think for the event long-term, going into the final day at 9-9 or 9.5-8.5 would have helped more as there is certainly more intensity out there than normal for this event (players and crowds).  I think the recent International captains have done a better job in recent years creating an identity.
