(Reuters) - Ernie Els wants Australian golf fans to make it clear that his Internationals are the home team when they face the United States in the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne in December.

Only three Australians -- Adam Scott, Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith -- are among the eight automatic qualifiers on the global side, but captain Els wants the galleries to get on board as the team's 13th man.
