(Reuters) - The United States are once again heavy favourites entering this week's Presidents Cup in Montreal but International Team captain Mike Weir said on Tuesday his squad should not be underestimated in their bid to snap the Americans' dominance.

The U.S. are 12-1-1 in the biennial competition that began in 1994, having lost in 1998 and settled for a tie in 2003, but Weir is not bothered by past results and knows that matchplay golf can be unpredictable and serve as a great leveller.
