Keegan Bradley gets United States over the line to win Presidents Cup

Keegan Bradley secured the Presidents Cup for the United States on Sunday when he clinched a point in his match against the International Team's Kim Si-woo that lifted his team to the 15-1/2 target needed to retain the trophy in Montreal.

It was the 10th consecutive Presidents Cup triumph for the Americans, who boast an all-time record of 13-1-1 in the biennial match play event against a line-up of international players from outside Europe.

"They made the captain's job really easy and these guys played their hearts out this week, and they really played well on the back nine," said US captain Jim Furyk.

The US needed 4-1/2 points from 12 singles matches and wins for Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay along with a half-point from Sam Burns set the stage for US Ryder Cup captain Bradley, who beat Kim 1-up with five other matches on the course.

Bradley, who this week made his first team event appearance in 10 years, missed putts to clinch the Presidents Cup over the last two holes but got the decisive point when Kim missed an eight-foot birdie putt at the par-four 18th.

"It's a fairy-tale; it's a movie almost," said Bradley. "I just can't believe it. You just have to work as hard as I can, and good things happen."

While the Internationals swept Friday's session to draw level at 5-5, the Americans built up an 11-7 lead on Saturday that left their opponents needing 8-1/2 of the remaining 12 points to win the cup, a feat neither team has achieved in the event's history.

The US, a dominant squad of golfers all in the top 25 of the world rankings, including five of the top 10, took control early and never wavered even as the Internationals made a late push in a number of matches.
