In Medinah, Illinois, the United States captured the Presidents Cup after a dramatic Sunday rally that saw them overturn a three‑point deficit and secure their 11th straight victory. Captain Brandt Snedeker, who had blamed himself for the earlier shortfall, watched the U.S. team deliver the biggest Sunday rout in tournament history, winning nine of the 12 singles matches and halving the final match for a 17‑13 victory.
The Americans flipped two key singles matches on the back nine, defeating two‑time major champion Collin Morikawa and 21‑year‑old rookie Jackson Koivun. President Donald Trump, who opened the day with a brief speech, praised the team’s performance and handed the trophy to the victorious squad.
