USA Wins Presidents Cup

The United States won its ninth Presidents Cup overall and sixth straight on Sunday in South Korea. It was a lot more complicated than that, though. For the first time in Presidents Cup history, the tournament was decided by the final match (Bill Haas vs. Sangmoon Bae).

The US took home the cup by winning 15.5 to 14.5 over the International squad.

 width=Louis Oosthuizen completed a 4-0-1 week with a nasty eagle on the final hole to split a point with Patrick Reed. The tough thing for Reed to swallow is that he never trailed throughout. He just never could put the South African away.

Rickie Fowler made four bogeys in 13 holes. Adam Scott didn't have to really do anything but make pars to beat Fowler. He did a little better than that.

It looked like Dustin Johnson was going to put Lee out of his misery early on Saturday, but Danny Lee kept fighting and fighting. He actually took a 1 up lead after the 14th hole, but Johnson closed him out with three straight holes won. It turned out to be big for the Americans.

JB Holmes birdied the 17th to make the match all square, but Hideki Matsuyama birdied the 18th to give the Internationals yet another point.

Bubba Watson yakked away the final hole after an unbelievable chip shot from the front of the green. This is the second straight day Watson has missed a short one on the final hole for a full point.

Phil Mickelson was lights out all week. He went 3-0-1.

Zach Johnson left Jason Day 0-4-1 for the week after beating him 3 and 2 on Saturday. Johnson went 5 up thru 11 holes before Day won three straight. But Johnson held him off and eventually put him away setting up the drama at the end.

It was quite a tournament for what, at the beginning of the week, looked like it was going to be a blowout.
