There are no players happier to be north of the border this week for the 2024 Presidents Cup than Mackenzie Hughes, Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith. The Canadian trio grew up playing golf in Canada, and now they return to Royal Montreal Golf Club to represent the International Team — and Hughes got the party started early Thursday.
Before the opening four-ball session kicked off with Xander Schauffle and Tony Finau battling Jason Day and Byeong Hun An, Hughes took a knee in front of the home crowd on the first tee and chugged a beer — a Stella Artois to be exact.
Justin Thomas would be proud.
