If the US should go on to win this event, they have a shining star who showed them the way. During a practice round a guy from North Dakota (the Cup is at Heseltine in Minnesota) heckled Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stetson for their inability to sink a certain putt. They called him out, Justin Rose laid a c-note by the ball, and the duffer sank it. Dollars to doughnuts Tiger would have choked.

Shades of Happy Gilmore and, if you listen to the protagonist, North Dakota is definitely in the Canadian Prairie eh and aboot land.
