Presidents Cup: USA claim dramatic victory

The United States beat the International team 15½-14½ to win the Presidents Cup for the ninth time in 11 contests.

USA held a one-point lead going into the final day’s 12 singles matches and edged home at the Jack Nicklaus Club in Incheon, South Korea.

Bill Haas, the son of captain Jay, scored the winning point by beating South Korean Bae Sang-moon.

Haas secured victory on the final hole of a tense finale to the competition.

Jay Haas said he told his son: “Come on, win one for your mom, your mom deserves this.”

He added: “We put him out 12th and had no idea this was going to happen. Couldn’t even have dreamt this.”
