United States retain Presidents Cup once again

The United States have beaten the International team 19-11 to win a seventh successive Presidents Cup.

The Americans headed into the singles matches with a 14½-3½ lead and needing half a point to retain their title.

Kevin Chappell got the half against Marc Leishman and, after wins for Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama, Daniel Berger beat Si Woo Kim for the outright win.

“What a feeling,” said Berger, “Strick (US captain Steve Stricker) came up to me on 16 and told me the half a point was good enough. And then I just wanted to close out that match. It was an amazing week, and I feel excited for everyone on the team.”
