On Sunday, Keegan Bradley played a pivotal role in securing the Presidents Cup for the United States by winning his match against the International Team's Kim Si-woo. With this victory, the U.S. achieved the necessary 15-1/2 points to retain the trophy in Montreal, marking their 10th consecutive win in this competition, where they now hold a remarkable overall record of 13-1-1 against international players outside Europe.
U.S. captain Jim Furyk expressed pride in his team, noting how well they performed throughout the tournament. The Americans entered the singles matches needing to secure 4-1/2 points from a total of 12, and they achieved a strong lead on Saturday, making it difficult for their opponents to come back.
Bradley, who returned to a team event after a decade, faced pressure as he missed key putts in the final holes. However, his decisive point came when Kim missed an eight-foot birdie opportunity on the 18th. Reflecting on his experience, Bradley described it as a "fairy-tale" moment and emphasized the importance of hard work in achieving success.
While the International Team started strong by sweeping the Friday session, the Americans rebounded with a significant lead. In a show of dominance, the U.S. team, filled with top-ranked golfers, maintained control even as the International players attempted to mount a comeback.
Xander Schauffele set the day’s tone with an early victory, followed by a series of matches that showcased team strength, culminating in Bradley's crucial win that sealed the overall result. Despite some individual successes for the Internationals, such as points from Matsuyama and Conners, it ultimately wasn't enough to alter the outcome of the tournament.
