Canadians Nick Taylor and Corey Conners laugh off Lake Ontario renaming ahead of Presidents Cup

Nick Taylor and Corey Conners want to beat the Americans at the Presidents Cup this week.

They would prefer to leave the naming of lakes out of it.

Which is unfortunate, because OutKick had a suggestion for adding a little something extra to the competition at Medinah Country Club: The winning team gets to name the lake .

Lake Ontario if the Internationals win.

Lake America if Team USA wins.

The two Canadians weren’t sold.

"I think we’ll leave the naming of lakes out of it," Taylor said with a laugh Tuesday.

Conners laughed at the suggestion, too.

"I don’t think anyone would be too excited about that prospect," he said.

"I don’t know who’s in charge of lake naming." Fair enough.

Probably not a responsibility either golfer expected to be offered during his pre-tournament media availability.
