U.S. Team Clinches Record Sunday Victory at Presidents Cup with Trump in Attendance
U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker saw his squad erase a three-point gap, delivering the biggest Sunday rout in Presidents Cup history to seal a 17-13 win, with Donald Trump on hand.
U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker entered Sunday’s singles with a three-point deficit but watched his team produce the largest Sunday rout ever recorded in Presidents Cup history, clinching a 17-13 victory. The Americans captured nine of the twelve singles matches, with key wins from Collin Morikawa, 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun, and strong performances by Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Justin Thomas and Chris Gotterup.
Donald Trump, serving as honorary chairman, greeted the players on the first tee and remained for the award presentation, echoing his 2017 appearance. The home crowd at Medinah amplified the momentum, and moments such as Scheffler conceding a par after a missed birdie highlighted the team’s composure. Snedeker praised the squad’s resilience, noting the historic nature of the comeback and the "funny stuff" that often occurs at Medinah. The International side, led by Geoff Ogilvy, will regroup for the next event in Australia.
