SYDNEY — Australian major winner Hannah Green has called for women to play in the Presidents Cup to make it more competitive, saying the concept has been spoken about in the locker room.
The United States won a 10th consecutive Presidents Cup last week in Canada, with the International team, made up of non-European players, not tasting victory since Royal Melbourne in 1998.World No. 7 Green , a two-time LPGA Tour winner this season, said golf's power brokers should seriously consider creating a mixed event or a women-only version.
'This year's 12-player International team featured just one golfer inside the world's top 10 — Japan's Hideki Matsuyama. In contrast, the Americans boasted four of the world's top six.It is a different story among women, where players from Asia, Australia or New Zealand fill eight of the world's top 10.'Between players it's kind of been spoken about,' said Green of the potential for a new mixed event.
