Sunday didn’t disappoint either. Despite world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler failing to defeate world No. 7 Hideki Matsuyama for the United States, the Americans were able to secure their 10th-straight Presidents Cup victory thanks to fantastic performances from golfers like Xander Schauffele and Russell Henley.

The first three rounds of the 2024 Presidents Cup have been insane. The United States opened up on play on Thursday by sweeping the four-ball matches. They got out to a 5-0 lead heading into Friday’s foursomes. However, the international team would answer back with a sweep of their own, tying things up heading into Saturday.

On Saturday, the United States regained their lead, earning three wins in four four-ball matchups. They also won three of four foursomes, with their only loss coming when Taylor Pendrith and Adam Scott finished two holes up on Brian Harman and Max Homa. When all was said and done, the United States led 11-7 heading into Sunday’s play.
