Americans rallied in singles to win the 11th straight Presidents Cup, overcoming a three-point deficit with a historic Sunday surge at Medinah. U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker praised his team after Collin Morikawa and rookie Jackson Koivun flipped key matches on the back nine. President Donald Trump attended as honorary chairman, calling it 'a very interesting game of golf.' The U.S. won nine of 12 singles matches and halved the final to secure a 17-13 victory. Scottie Scheffler showed sportsmanship after a fan disruption, while Koivun, 21, turned a 2-down deficit into a 2-up win with clutch shots on 18.

Jacob Bridgeman clinched the winning point with a 3-foot par putt. Internationals captain Geoff Ogilvy acknowledged the difficulty of beating the U.S. in singles on American soil, citing crowd energy and team resilience.
