United States Win 2019 Presidents Cup

The United States has won the 2019 Presidents Cup. On Sunday at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia, the United States went 6-2-4 in singles matches to win the tournament 16-14.

The six American golfers to win the Sunday singles session were Tiger Woods, Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson and Xander Schauffele. In winning the Presidents Cup, Woods becomes only the second golfer ever to win the tournament as a player and captain in the same event. He follows Hale Irwin, who accomplished the feat at the 1994 Presidents Cup in Gainesville, Virginia.

The United States got off to a great start on Sunday and never looked back. Woods got off to a great start in the opening match against Mexico’s Abraham Ancer, as he won seven of the 16 holes to win 3 & 2.

Another impressive performance on Sunday came from the 2018 Masters champion, Patrick Reed, who performed on Sunday after a day filled with controversy. On Saturday in the team session, Reed’s caddie Kessler Karain shoved a spectator who was heckling Reed, and Karain was subsequently banned from being Reed’s caddie on Sunday. Kessler, coincidentally is Reed’s brother-in-law, and brother of Reed’s wife Justine, who has also been the caddie for Reed in the past. Even though Justine was in Melbourne cheering on her husband, Reed decided to go with his swing coach, Kevin Kirk as his caddie instead.

Reed was probably the best golfer for the United States on Sunday after a difficult first three days of the event, where he was one of the poorest golfers for the stars and stripes. Reed came out blazing as he won six of the first seven holes to take a 6-up lead on Cheng-Tsung Pan of Chinese Taipei. In the end, Reed was the American golfer to win by the largest margin as he won 4 & 2.
