MONTREAL, Canada – The US team led by captain Jim Furyk emerged victorious at the Presidents Cup in Royal Montreal, showcasing their dominance and securing the trophy for the tenth consecutive time. Despite a fierce battle with the International team, the Americans prevailed with a final score of 18 1/2 to 11 1/2.
The matches were intense, with the majority of them not being decided until the 17th hole, adding to the suspense and excitement of the event. Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay led the charge for the US team, delivering spectacular performances and setting the tone for the rest of the matches.
Keegan Bradley, making a remarkable comeback for the US team after a ten-year hiatus from international competition, clinched the winning point against Si Woo Kim. His victory was a poignant moment for Bradley as he reflected on his journey back to the team after a decade.
The Americans displayed exceptional teamwork and skill throughout the event, with players like Max Homa contributing crucial points to secure the win. Captain Furyk, proud of his team’s performance, emphasized the players’ resilience and ability to deliver under pressure.
Despite a valiant effort from the International team, captained by Mike Weir, they were unable to break the US winning streak that dates back to 2005. The Internationals showcased great sportsmanship and determination, but fell short of securing the coveted cup once again.
The matches featured some nail-biting moments and standout performances from players like Sam Burns and Tom Kim, adding to the thrill of the competition. The Internationals, led by Hideki Matsuyama and Corey Conners, fought hard but ultimately couldn’t match the US team’s dominance.
Looking ahead, the Internationals will have to regroup and strategize for the next competition in 2026 at Medinah outside Chicago. The US team, brimming with confidence and camaraderie, will savor their victory at the Presidents Cup and look forward to future challenges on the international stage.
