"The Australians, Min's obviously a powerful player and so is Adam," Weir said.

"The guys just get along really well ... Adam's mentored him a little bit as well and they're just a great fit, they just really like each other."

Lee was relishing the prospect of his first Presidents Cup.    

"The camaraderie has been amazing, I really love these type of tournaments," Lee said.

"We're all playing some solid golf ... hopefully we can give it a good run.

"I hang out with Jason and Adam a lot and they're the veterans of the group, they keep me level-headed a little bit."

Lee's level-headed mentally doesn't apply to his fresh haircut: he has the letters INT shaved into the right side of his head.

"It was a funny one, I went to one (hairdresser) downtown right near the hotel," he said.

"And just to not sound weird, I was like: 'Hey, do you know there's a golf tournament happening, USA versus Internationals?'.

"He's like: 'Yeah, yeah, I think so.

"I was like: 'Well, I'm on that team so could you write I-N-T on the side of my head?

"He was my age and he was very cool about it. He's like: 'I got you'. I just let him do his thing.

"He did a really good job ... I haven't done anything extreme like that."

The Americans are 12-1-1 in the all-time series having only lost in 1998 at Royal Melbourne.

The event begins on Thursday (Friday AEST) in Canada.
