President Cup spat as Kevin Kisner, Camilo Villegas get into war of words: ‘Why are you being so sensitive?’

MONTREAL — It’s not often that assistant captains in team competitions do much more than driving a cart, fetching sandwiches and holding their trusty walkie-talkie. But on Thursday at the 2024 Presidents Cup, U.S. Assistant Captain Kevin Kisner and International Team Assistant Captain Camilo Villegas added a new twist on the job, engaging in a war of words.

“They took gamesmanship too far and over the line on sportsmanship and lose some integrity,” Kisner told Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis. “I thought it was pretty bush league and I told Camilo that if that’s the way they want to do it, then game on. If you can piss off my No. 1 player in the world, then I’m all for it.”
