United States win Presidents Cup for ninth time in a row after tense singles battle with Internationals at Quail Hollow

The United States wrapped up victory in the Presidents Cup, with Xander Schauffele’s point against Corey Conners getting Davis Love III’s side over the line against the Internationals. The Internationals raised hope of an unlikely turnaround when winning Saturday’s afternoon fourballs 3-1 to cut the deficit to 11-7 going into the singles.

Ad It was always likely to be a tall order for Trevor Immelman’s side, and that proved to be the case as wins for Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau and Schauffele, and a half for Sam Burns secured the points to take them to the 15.5 threshold for victory.

There were bits of gold on the scoreboard early on Sunday, as Cam Davis and Hideki Matsuyama raced into leads against Spieth and Burns respectively. Taylor Pendrith raced out early against Finau, and when Sungjae Im surged into the lead against Cameron Young, momentum was with the Internationals and there was pressure on the home side.
