The United States snatched an 11th consecutive Presidents Cup victory after a remarkable final-day fightback at Medinah, claiming a stunning 17-13 win over the Internationals. Brandt Snedeker's team trailed by three points heading into Sunday singles, requiring eight points from 12 matches to avoid a first defeat since 1998, but responded in spectacular fashion.

Cameron Young, Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler delivered early points, only for Tom Kim and Sungjae Im to register key wins to move the Internationals within three points of a first away win. Wins for Chris Gotterup, Patrick Cantlay and Collin Morikawa pushed USA ahead, while Jackson Koivun's point sealed the victory.

Jacob Bridgeman completed the biggest final-day comeback in Presidents Cup history, coming back from one down with three to play to defeat Min Woo Lee on the final hole. Xander Schauffele beat Open champion Ryan Fox 2&1, while Russell Henley's tie with Nick Taylor left Team USA with 9.5 points from singles. Team USA continues their record of winning every edition since 2005, while the International Team's wait for a second victory extends.
