Americans rally in singles to win Presidents Cup for 11th straight time

U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker won't have to second-guess the outcome of this Presidents Cup. He went from blaming himself for a three-point deficit to watching the Americans deliver the biggest Sunday rout in tournament history to win for the 11th straight time.

Outplayed over three days in team matches at Medinah, the Americans flipped two key singles matches on the back nine — one from two-time major champion Collin Morikawa, the other from 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun. And it was a rush of red scores at the end.

President Donald Trump was on the first tee for the start of 12 singles matches, and he kept his speech short. "It's going to be a very interesting game of golf," he said.

That it was, even if the outcome was all to familiar.

The Americans won nine of the 12 singles and halved the final match on the course when the Presidents Cup already was decided, adding to a 17-13 victory.

Canadians Corey Connors, of Listowel, Ont., and Nick Taylor, of Abbotsford, B.C., were competing as members of the International team captained by Geoff Ogilvy.

The Canadian duo defeated world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns during a foursomes match on Friday.

The Presidents Cup is a good idea — in theory

Trump, the honorary chairman of the Presidents Cup, stuck around for the trophy presentation, just like he did after another American victory at Liberty National in 2017 during his first term.

The U.S. rally wasn't on edge the way it was in 2012 when Europe stormed from a 10-6 deficit at Medinah to win the Ryder Cup. The Americans at least had a home crowd on their side, loud and boisterous all day, and over the top on one occasion.
