USA rallies to capture 11th consecutive Presidents Cup

For the first time in 28 years, the United States claimed victory in the Presidents Cup on Sunday, defeating the Internationals 17-13 at Medinah Country Club, a course that hosted the 2012 Ryder Cup. The win, dedicated to US President Donald Trump, marked the team's 11th consecutive triumph in the biennial competition. Jacob Bridgeman secured the decisive point by sinking a four-foot par putt at the 18th hole against Min Woo Lee of Australia.

US captain Brandt Snedeker expressed immense pride in his team, praising their unity and determination. Trump, who visited the course for the final day, credited his energy for the win, stating he is "getting all the credit" for the victory. The Americans, led by Bridgeman, Justin Thomas, and Cameron Young, secured their victories on the same suburban Chicago layout where Europe achieved a historic comeback in 2012.

Snedeker noted the resilience and faith of the team, emphasizing how "funny things happen here" at Medinah.
