SAN FRANCISCO — Ryo Ishikawa is perhaps the most popular player on the International team roster at the Presidents Cup team – and not just because he?s a polite young teenager. The Japanese star also is comfortable playing with any brand of golf ball, which makes him a particularly hot commodity for the foursomes matches in the biennial showdown of US and non-European squads that begins here Thursday. In foursomes, also known as alternate shot, two-man teams take turns hitting the same ball, which means they must choose only one ball. That can present quite a problem for some players who have trouble adjusting to the slightly different characteristics of an unfamiliar ball. But Ishikawa is not contracted to any ball manufacturer and has experimented with different golf balls since he turned professional at the end of 2007. “I can play with anybody,” he said Tuesday.
