Presidents Cup

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 U.S.

“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.”

It was not as easy as the Americans expected, but the hosts nevertheless sailed to victory at Quail Hollow.

A birdie on the 10th pushed his margin to four before Pereira grabbed his lone hole of the match on the 11th. He made the most of the experience and will surely make the most of the celebrations. Birdies on 12 and 14 propelled him even with Kim and a birdie on the difficult 15th saw him take his first lead of the match. Schauffele never trailed in the match and despite a 1 UP win, a victory never felt in doubt. The two exchanged birdies on the 16th and pars on the final two holes to each put a half point on the board. Match 4 -- Cantlay 3&2 over Scott: This was a comfortable win for Cantlay as he went 3 UP through the first four holes. And while the final was rarely up in the air throughout the week at Quail Hollow, the golf on both sides was good enough that the journey to get to the end was as much of a delight as ever. Finau won five of the final nine holes to overcome a 2 down deficit. Matsuyama hit a marshal's leg and the flagstick for what was nearly the birdie of the Presidents Cup. Making five birdies in his final 12 holes, the Texan was able to coast by the Australian. Love said after the matches that his players were desperate for a rout, too, and put a number goal out there that was much higher than the one needed simply to win the trophy (15.5). The Americans' status was never truly in doubt despite the International side pushing the hosts on Saturday and getting off to a hot start Sunday when the 12 singles matches were played to close out four days of action at Quail Hollow Golf Club.

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.

“I think the big difference I felt the last couple years is what’s going on in our team room, what’s going on between the captains and the players, the caddies, everybody involved on our team. His first Presidents Cup was in 2003 in South Africa that ended in a tie. “When you get off early on a Sunday, they’re looking for red on the board. And we cannot wait to run this back and have another shot.“ “I think that the biggest challenge for us this week was staying within ourselves and not letting the outside noise get to us,” Spieth said. And it feels good to provide it.” “We love this event, and we love our team.

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.
