Anthony Kim, Phil Mickelson to Lead Off Match Play
Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker will be partners in the opening session of the Presidents Cup, and what already is a star attraction figures to get even more attention with who they are playing.
The Americans will face Ryo Ishikawa, the 18-year-old Japanese sensation who generates the kind of buzz in Japan that Woods gets around the world. Ishikawa will partner with Geoff Ogilvy, one of the best in match play over the last four years.
Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim, a strong partnership at the Ryder Cup, will lead off the foursomes matches Thursday at Harding Park against Mike Weir and Tim Clark.
There are six matches in the first session.
