Americans dominate singles to sink Internationals with a match to spare. FMTNews Woods PresidentsCup
MELBOURNE: United States captain Tiger Woods led from the front as the Americans dominated the Sunday singles to overhaul the Internationals at Royal Melbourne 16-14 and claim an eighth successive Presidents Cup.
“It’s been one of the more amazing challenges but … all the guys, they believed in one another and relied on one another.” No team had won after trailing into the final day but the class and depth of the Americans prevailed when it mattered most. Dustin Johnson crushed Chinese debutant Li Haotong 4&3 before Patrick Reed, under pressure after losing all three of his previous matches, pushed his team in front with a 4&2 win over Taiwan’s CT Pan.
“The last couple of days were tough and today wasn’t easy,” said Reed, who was heckled throughout the event for a controversial penalty in the Bahamas last week.The Internationals’ cause suffered a crushing blow when Hideki Matsuyama, having charged to a four-hole lead against Tony Finau, collapsed on the back nine and collected only a half-point.
