Presidents Cup

The International team challenged the U.S. with a couple of big early Sunday wins, but the Americans' depth came through in winning the 14th Presidents Cup.

4, and Tony Finau defeated Canada's Taylor Pendrith, 3 and 1, in the sixth pairing. Spieth, who won all of his team matches with Thomas, became the sixth player in Presidents Cup history to go 5-0-0, and he won his first singles match in either this competiton or the Ryder Cup. Patrick Cantlay, who went 3-1 for the week, dominated Aussie veteran Adam Scott, 3 and 2, in Match No. [The Americans won the singles session 6½-5½, and in addition to Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa scored victories. Nearly 5½ hours after play began, Xander Schauffele closed out his 1-up victory over Canada's Corey Connors with a par, and the Americans had the 15½ points they needed to secure their 12th victory in the biennial competition that was first played in 1994. South Korea's Si Woo Kim made a birdie on 18 to beat the new “Captain America,” Justin Thomas, 1 up in Match No.

U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Davis Love III trusted that his 12-man team would deliver in Sunday singles.

“When you consider that we were 8-2 down on Friday evening, this team is no joke, and I’m sick and tired of it being spoken of as a joke,” International team captain Trevor Immelman said. “This young kid has burst onto the scene in the last six months,” International team captain Trevor Immelman said. The U.S. And I had to make it, and I made it,” said Kim, who was a team-best 3-0-1, of his putt to tie the 15th hole. Nevertheless, the International side made a valiant comeback on Saturday. team featured six of the top 10 in the world, while Hideki Matsuyama, who tied Sam Burns on Sunday, was the top-ranked international player at No. Love front-loaded his lineup with several of the top players in the world to attempt to put a sea of red on the scoreboard early: Justin Thomas in the leadoff spot followed by Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay and World No. Spieth secured his first-ever victory in singles and notched a perfect record of 5-0, the first player from either team to do so since South African Branden Grace in 2015. Missing from the International side was World No. “Just luck of the draw, you know what I mean?” Schauffele said. – After watching his team lose both sessions on Saturday and its lead heading into the final day trimmed to four points, U.S. needed just four points to retain the Presidents Cup and continue its domination in its biennial match, winning 17 ½-12 ½.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – His ball, club, hat, heart, and the inhibitions of the International Team.

But they knew, we all knew, and everyone spilled into the North Carolina night happy to tell anybody who asks how that felt. Homa was the best rookie, the best captain’s pick, and the best quote. It will not show how high Spieth’s chip-in bounced when it hit the back of the hole on 15 late Saturday as he and Justin Thomas beat Hideki Matsuyama/Taylor Pendrith 4 and 3. “I would have celebrated more,” Spieth, the MVP of the U.S. The scoreboard can’t measure that sort of thing, or explain how 12 men played for each other, the flag, the shield. The final score of this Presidents Cup won’t reflect that eloquence. Those who saw it won’t soon forget Sungjae Im chipping in for birdie on 14 as he and Muñoz tied Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the week’s best match, a Four-ball contest Friday. “It was going in kind of hard. I’ve been in the last match both days, and to be able to see that is special for me.” We saw greatness at this Presidents Cup: Jordan Spieth’s five birdies to beat Cam Davis 4 and 3 as he went 5-0-0 for the week. won the 2022 Presidents Cup 17.5 – 12.5.

The 2024 Presidents Cup is set to take place at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada from September 24-29 of that year. Team USA clocked its fifth successive victory as Muirfield Village Golf Club, Ohio, hosted the 10th edition of the Presidents Cup, in 2013. History was made at the 5th edition of the tournament, in 2003, as George, South Africa, played host to the Presidents Cup's sole tie -- a 17-17 stalemate. Home hero Bae Sang-Moon impressed, but couldn't prevent an agonizing 14.5 - 15.5 loss as the International Team suffered defeat for the sixth-straight time. Chris DiMarco fittingly clinched victory for the Americans having secured a team-best 4.5 points. It was back to Virginia for the 2000 Presidents Cup, as US Captain Ken Venturi oversaw a commanding 21.5 - 10.5 victory over Thomson's side. Hosting the Presidents Cup for the third time, Royal Melbourne teed up an enthralling contest in 2019. Under Thomson's captaincy, it did so in some style too, roaring to a 20.5 - 11.5 victory at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. After playing captain Tiger Woods inspired his side to a dramatic fightback victory in 2019, Team USA will be targeting a ninth straight Presidents Cup victory at Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, this week. As the event returned to Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Arnold Palmer -- pictured with honorary chairman former President George H.W. The US team has now won 12 out of 14 Presidents Cups in history, losing only one overall tournament. Incumbent President Donald Trump handed the trophy to US captain Steve Stricker following a 19-11 American victory.

The U.S. team captured the Presidents Cup again, taking down the International team 17½ to 12½ at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday.
