2024 Presidents Cup: U.S. routs Internationals, wins 10th straight

“I want to party with you, cowboy.”

The largest margin of victory for an away team in Presidents Cup history.

Max Homa defeats Mackenzie Hughes, 2 and 1.

Homa goes 1-2 this week as Canadian Hughes goes 1-3.

Max Homa is 2 up on the 17th hole against Mackenzie Hughes.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout, after sitting out Saturday, defeats Brian Harman, 2 and 1.

The South African is the only International player with a winning record, going 2-1. Harman, a captain’s pick, goes winless, 0-3.

Adam Scott misses a 9-footer at the par-3 17th and falls to Collin Morikawa, 2 and 1.

Scott played all five matches this week and went 2-3. Morikawa also played all five and went 4-1.

Sahith Theegala, 2 down at the turn, earns a tie against Byeong Hun An.

Rookie Theegala and An both go 1-1-1 this week.

Min Woo Lee hits his approach shot inside 3 feet to win the last hole and tie his match against Wyndham Clark.

Lee played the first session of the Presidents Cup and was then sidelined until singles. He went 0-1-1. Clark went 1-2-1.

And they will be played out. The U.S. leads in three of them, the Internationals in one and one is tied.

The U.S. clinches the Presidents Cup for the 13th time in 15 editions after an International miss at the last.

Si Woo Kim misses his birdie putt and the U.S. secures victory in the Presidents Cup.

Si Woo Kim needs to make his 9-foot birdie putt at the last to keep International hopes alive.

Kim is inside 9 feet for birdie at the 18th. Bradley has 25 feet for birdie.

Again, Bradley has a putt to win the cup or can win it if Kim doesn’t make his.

After fans taunt him with “Kee-gan! Kee-gan!” chants, and with Si Woo Kim on the right side of the fairway off the tee, Bradley smokes his drive 302 yards down the center.

Bradley’s putt to win the Presidents Cup doesn’t scare the hole.

Si Woo Kim makes his 5-footer and we’re off to the 18th hole with Bradley 1 up.

Leading, 2 up through 16, Bradley hits his tee shot to 8 feet at the par-3 17th.

Si Woo Kim has 5 feet for birdie, but Bradley can lock up the cup with a make.

Patrick Cantlay disposes of Taylor Pendrith, 3 and 1.

Both guys played all five matches this week. Cantlay went 4-1; Pendrith went 2-3.

With Keegan Bradley having secured at least a tie (2 up through 16), the U.S. is assured of 15 points.

Cantlay and Bradley are dormie in their matches.

Canadian Corey Conners thumps Tony Finau, 5 and 3.

Conners played all five matches this week and went 2-3. Finau went 2-2.

Hideki Matsuyama holds off Scottie Scheffler, 1 up.

Scheffler had a 12-footer to win the last and tie the match, but couldn’t convert. Matsuyama was forced to sink his 3-footer for par to win.

In his immediate post-match interview, Matsuyama admitted to being “super nervous” on that last putt and that his hands were shaking.

Matsuyama went 2-3 this week; Scheffler went 3-2.

Russell Henley easily takes care of Sungjae Im, 3 and 2. Im made only two birdies and won only one hole on Sunday.

A cup rookie, Henley went 3-1-0 this week.

The U.S. is at least 2 up in three late matches.

Tick, tick, tick ...

Tom Kim had a 15-foot putt to win his match and give the Internationals a much-needed full point, but couldn’t provide the heroics.

Burns got up and down from just off the green and the two earned the first tie in any match this week.

Burns went 3-0-1, the only undefeated player of this Presidents Cup.

U.S. 12.5, Internationals 7.5

Matsuyama nearly holes his tee shot at the par-3 17th, hitting it inside 6 feet. He wins the hole when Scottie Scheffler three-putts.

Matsuyama (INT), 1 up thru 17

Leading Scottie Scheffler, 1 up, Hideki Matsuyama races his 47-foot birdie putt 11 feet past the hole on No. 16. He misses the comebacker and loses the hole.

Tied thru 16

Burns makes his 4-footer. Kim makes his 3-footer.

Tied thru 17

After the miss at No. 16, Kim nearly aces the par-3 17th. Sam Burns responds by hitting his inside 4 feet.

Kim had 7 feet to take the lead on Sam Burns but missed. The two remain tied through 16 holes.

Matsuyama (INT), 1 up thru 15

Hideki Matsuyama birdies the 14th to tie his match with Scottie Scheffler.

Tom Kim follows by making birdie at the 15th to tie his match with Sam Burns.

While Xander Schauffele easily won his, no one in the other 11 matches has better than a 2-up lead.

Xander Schauffele made seven birdies to beat Jason Day, 4 and 3.

U.S. 12, Internationals 7

They currently lead in five matches with the U.S. up in five others and two tied.

As the international fans chant “three-putt” at Sam Burns, that’s exactly what he does at the par-3 13th hole, three-putting from 52 feet. Tom Kim rolls in a short par save – Burns hasn’t given him anything all day – to cut Burns’ lead in half.

Burns (USA), 1 up thru 13

All 12 matches are out on the golf course, and 10 of them are either tied or 1 up.

Just the first two matches have bigger leads:

• Xander Schauffele is 5 up thru 13 on Jason Day
• Sam Burns is 2 up thru 11 on Tom Kim

Now that’s how you start a match!

Max Homa spins back a wedge from 102 yards and finds the bottom of the cup for eagle and a 1-up lead after the first hole against Mac Hughes in the anchor match.

Homa (USA), 1 up thru 1

Hideki Matsuyama sticks his tee shot at the par-3 seventh to 3 feet for a hole-winning birdie.

He then takes his first lead at the par-4 eighth, where he wedges from 87 yards to inside 2 feet for another birdie.

The Internationals now lead in two matches, as Min Woo Lee is also 1 up early on Wyndham Clark.

Matsuyama (INT), 1 up thru 8

Make that four straight birdies for Xander Schauffele, who cans a 14-footer at the par-4 eighth.

Schauffele (USA), 4 up thru 8

The best way to maintain a lead is to extend a lead, they say. And the U.S. is not opening any doors for the International team.

Xander Schauffele has four birdies in seven holes. Sam Burns has four birdies in six holes.

They are both up multiple holes and the U.S. leads in five of the seven matches.

Six matches have completed a hole and the U.S. leads in four, including Xander Schauffele over Jason Day in Match 1.

Schauffele (USA), 1 up thru 5

Scheffler, in trouble at the fourth, hacks out left-handed from the base of a tree. He ends up tying the hole when Hideki Matsuyama misses a 5-footer for par.

Scheffler (USA), 1 up thru 4

Five matches have completed at least one hole. Four are tied and the U.S. (Scheffler, 1 up, over Matsuyama thru 3) leads in one.

A routine two-putt at the third is enough for Schauffele to square his match with Day.

Tied thru 3

Scheffler slam-dunks his greenside bunker shot for birdie at the first. Hideki Matsuyama then misses from 15 feet.

Scheffler (USA), 1 up thru 1

Day wins the second against Schauffele. Burns wins the first against Tom Kim.

• Day (INT), 1 up thru 2
• Burns (USA), 1 up thru 1

Sam Burns finds the rough. Tom Kim hits the fairway. Much like in Match 1.

Schauffele rolls in a 45-footer for birdie. Day counters with an 11-footer to tie.

AS thru 1

Xander Schauffele pulls his tee shot into the left rough while Jason Day, who say out all of Saturday, splits the fairway.

The International team has won the Presidents Cup more recently than the Montreal Canadians have won the Stanley Cup.

From dad mode to player mode.
