Presidents Cup 2026: Can the U.S. rally at Medinah? Breaking down the Sunday singles matches
With the International team holding a 10½-7½ lead, a look at the 12 Sunday singles matches in the Presidents Cup
Medinah, Illinois — The Presidents Cup has a different dynamic than the Ryder Cup, with captains revealing their lineups in real-time during the singles matches. Internationals captain Geoff Ogilvy admitted it's a bit like a snake draft, making adjustments as the day unfolds. The U.S. team, trailing 10½-7½, had to strategize from the start.
Nico Echavarria, who's played only once, faced the world's top-ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler, in the fourth match. The Internationals' weakest players, with a combined 9-4-1 record this week, were paired at the end. The U.S. countered with players who are 2-6-1. Cameron Young emerged as the strongest American player, securing two points alongside Chris Gotterup.
Young's strokes gained total of 9.40 is the best on his squad. Hisatsune, despite losing his first two matches, is 1-1 and was carried by Matsuyama in their win. Young's good performance gives the U.S. an advantage.
