Wow
US has 15 points and cannot lose. 3 matches left we only need 1 tie for 1/2 point. Int is ahead of 2 and 1 is tied. This would be an epic comeback. No team has ever won when down heading into last day singles. Tiger deserves credit.
What a great Prime Time golf event very rare to have this level and on prime time TV

Big come from behind victory for Team US after falling behind early....basically just needed a few days to figure out the course - again, international players are used to playing on multiple types of courses/conditions because they play all over the world so they came out better prepared...
Tiger also won all the matches he played in so he definitely contributed to the team victory...he's playin' great golf right now and I think we'd all love to see him playin' this well comin' into March (The Players) and April (Masters)....

Awesome.
Ryder & President's Cup is basically US vs World. And more often than not, historically, it's the US, uber alles.
"What a thrill," said Kuchar after his clincher. "To play for the greatest ever, arguably, and to have him as a playing captain, just so cool. Watching him go out and still be just the best player on the golf course. "All of us, we just did not want to let him down. We were so excited to make the team. No way did we want to let Tiger Woods down. To be able to come back the way we did was such a thrill." This Presidents Cup will go down as probably the best of all time so it's fitting that the best player of all time is at its epicenter. Tiger the player was brilliant. Tiger the captain was moving and effective.
Tiger still has mystique. and US still is still home to the majority of best pro-golfers. Yet...the rest of the world has incredible golf talent, also.
Great stuff.

We have more of the best golfers in the world by far but these team events almost always go south for us. Not sure why? We powned these events for decades. Lately, it's becoming tough for US to dominate. (Esp Ryder Cup) I don't take it as US down-sliding, as much as the rest of the world has raised it's game. And yes, like plundering remarked, the courses are different/reward different shot-making.

This was one of the best golf viewings all time.
The reason is every match match mattered on final day. It was a team event even tho each was playing solo. Plus you had US being down and historically no team has ever won singles entering down. Plus you had Toger playing some of his best golf in years. Plus you had Tiger captain of team and took some heat not bringing Phil. It went down to last 2 golfers.
Hard to top that. And after years of being very stoic Tiger showed real emotions in the win. He fought back tears from happiness at team coming back.
They will get an invite to White House and they will accept.
