Presidents Cup

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.

"I used my example in here of the 2014 Ryder Cup and the 2015 season," he said, referring to his success with Patrick Reed at Gleneagles, and winning two majors the following year. If he thinks the 5-0 run at Quail Hollow can vault him to a solid 2023, then it's a good bet it will come true. If Spieth does inherit the Cup Bounce mojo from Scheffler, what might that look like? It wasn't just the wins, either; it was the quality of his play, marked by the litany of long putts he hit, one after another, on Sunday. It came at a critical time, too; with Thomas losing his first match in the No. that kind of maybe catapulted me a little bit for sure.”

“This team is no joke,” said Trevor Immelman, the captain of the International team and the 2008 Masters champion, “and I'm sick and tired of it being spoken of ...

“I think a lot of these younger guys are trying to get as many experiences as we can and this was just a massive steppingstone.” “A big difference I’ve felt in the last couple years,” said Adam Scott of Australia, the 2013 Masters champion, “is what’s going on in our team room.” He concluded, “I think good things are really starting to happen in that environment.” He added, “A cup is coming our way soon.” “I kind of say this week is sort of the benchmark in terms of high-pressure situations” and “something we haven’t quite experienced,” he said. “I think I played some of my best golf of the year, which was really cool.” The results of Sunday’s 12 singles matches started coming in just after 3:30 when Jordan Spieth, the monster of the U.S. 18 struck the flagstick and came to a rest one foot off. bandanna to the understated U.S. flag on the red cap to the overstated U.S. with a six-foot putt he studied for a good while and then beat Corey Conners of Canada, 1 up, well, Schauffele said, “What you saw was a big sigh of relief.” flags tucked into caps to the U.S. gear, from the singlet with suspenders to the U.S. team won, 17½-12½, against an International team hamstrung by poaching from the LIV Golf circuit, but the margin wound up shy of the neighborhood of infinity — not so bad after a Friday night when the Americans led 8-2 and the forecast looked yucky.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – While Davis Love III may never make it public, Kevin Kisner knows that he was 13th man on Team USA, a last-minute Captain's pick that ...

And in the perfect ending to the press conference he added, “That’s why they picked me. But Sunday night that was of little consequence to Kisner, who stole the show again in the post-victory press conference. There is nothing that any of these (guys) can do that can hang with me tonight, I promise you.”

He was never in control, either, until making a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 14th over water, then winning the 16th to go dormie. He shot a 30 on the front nine, including a 15-foot eagle on the seventh hole. Homa was the star newcomer for the Americans, Kim for the Internationals. Lee led by at least 2 holes the rest of the way and closed him out when Horschel got into trouble off the tee at the 17th. Young made it easy for him with three straight bogeys at the start before the PGA Tour’s top rookie came to life with a 50-foot birdie putt on the par-3 fourth and squared the match at the turn. Conners looked to square the match on the 17th until he three-putted from 25 feet. He stayed in the lead, and then put Pendrith away with a birdie on the 16th and another on the 17th. Munoz answered by winning three holes around the turn to take his first lead, and he never gave it back. point on the board. The match was all square coming to the last hole. He drove the par-4 11th green with a 3-wood for a two-putt birdie to the lead for good, and made a 45-footer on No. ___

Jordan Spieth went 5-0 as a depleted International team never fully recovered from an early deficit after the first two days.

The Americans improved to 12-1-1 in a series that began in 1994. Conners and Taylor Pendrith, the only Canadians on the team, were the only players who failed to contribute a point. “When you get off early on a Sunday, they’re looking for red on the board. 1 player in the world, first qualified for U.S. That gave the Americans 15.5 points; the competition ended with the U.S. Xander Schauffele delivered the clinching point when he made a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 1-up victory over Corey Conners.

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.

Early in the week at Quail Hollow Club, International captain Trevor Immelman said what many were thinking. “We're up against maybe the strongest American team ...

And the looming presence of Patrick Reed, who alienated many with his comments following the U.S. Last year’s European team was very much a “tweener” group with the likes of Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia in the mix and past their primes. The U.S. Gone was the team-room conflict that was created by last year’s man-spat between DeChambeau and Koepka. It’s remarkable how LIV’s influence decimated the International team, but the U.S. But there was reason to rest in the assuredness that this success can travel from one competition to the next. The final day had been a grind, which itself is a testament to how close the two teams are. “It’s hard to rank them, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be on the other side,” said Love, who has been part of cup teams since 1993. But the best of all time? And the Sunday split, 6 ½ to 5 ½, in favor of the Americans, suggested more parity than some would have thought. It would have been easy for the Americans, a 6 ½-point favorite at Quail Hollow, to stumble into what was essentially a trap game. team – with a core that’s travelled and won from Wisconsin to North Carolina – is difficult to quantify.

The International team was not given much of a chance to win at Quail Hollow, but their play proved they belong.

The calculus for an International comeback was simple: Get out to a fast start and make the Americans sweat. All 12 golfers, plus their captains, filed in and took a seat atop the platform at a long, white table. “But hat’s off to the Americans. The once coronation had turned into a dogfight, and the visitors had no intention of backing down. Immelman began by praising the efforts of his team. It started with energetic and fearless Tom Kim, and soon spread to the rest of the team. American duos held the lead in each of the four matches and the rout looked to be on. The scene was nearly impossible to imagine just 48 hours earlier. The session ended in a 2-2 tie, but from that point forward, one thing was clear: the Internationals were beginning to believe. After Day 2, it looked as though the referee was ready to stop the fight. The Americans came out swinging on Thursday, and led 4-1 by sundown. Back up the fairway, the International team stood and watched.

Xander Schauffele rolled in the decisive putt in his match against Canadian Corey Conners on the 18th hole to clinch the US team's overall victory, sparking ...

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.

“And I think they think they have more to prove,” Love said. “Stay to your routine, do what you normally do to prepare for the biggest tournaments, and they did that. And to do that for your team and country was super cool to watch.” They went through their same routine that I've seen guys go through for the final round of the Masters when they're in the final group. And the kind of team rooms that I've mentioned that we've had the last few years, it's going to stay that way, and I'm very confident in our ability to go over there and win. I mean, I've played in a couple of away games now, and they're very different,” the Texan said after going 5-0, the fourth American to run the tables.

It’s a lesson that will serve them well when they travel to Rome next fall for the 44th Ryder Cup. has lost just once in team competitions since the 2014 Ryder Cup—that coming in 2018 in Paris. Seven of America’s 12 players who contributed to that 19-9 thrashing of Europe in Wisconsin competed this week, another indicator of the anticipated dominance expected of them under captain Davis Love III. The Internationals had no hope of preventing the U.S.

The U.S. won the Presidents Cup, then delivered multiple funny moments in the press conference afterward. Here are the seven funniest.

And nothing beats a victory smoke. But don’t sleep on the debriefs of these team events afterward.

Tom Kim inspired a fightback from the Internationals at the Presidents Cup, reducing the US Teams lead to 11-7 on Saturday at Quail Hollow.
