What Every Player Shot On Sunday At The Presidents Cup
There were some notable performances in the 12 singles matches on Sunday, as the American side claimed an 18.5-11.5 victory at the Presidents Cup
Despite copious amounts of drama and a few incidents on Thursday - Saturday, the singles of the Presidents Cup on Sunday didn't provide as much tension as fans would have liked, with the US side claiming a comfortable 18.5-11.5 victory.
Leading 11-7 going into Sunday, US captain Jim Furyk put out his best players early and, during the singles, it was the mid-order that did the damage, with the US side picking up 4.5 points from the first six matches.

Although the International side did battle on, with the likes of Hideki Matsuyama, Corey Conners and Christiaan Bezuidenhout claiming wins, their efforts were in vain, as the US ran out as comfortable winners.
Going out first, Xander Schauffele never looked phased against Jason Day as he picked up a 4&3 win for the Americans. In the next game, Sam Burns remained the only player undefeated at the 2024 Presidents Cup, as the 28-year-old tied his game against Tom Kim.
As mentioned, International star Matsuyama won his match against World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, but the US side then secured the next three games on the bounce. Fittingly, it was US Ryder Cup captain, Keegan Bradley, who claimed the winning point, as he defeated Si Woo Kim 1-up.
In the remaining games, Conners defeated American Tony Finau, whilst there was nothing to separate Wyndham Clark/Min Woo Lee and Sahith Theegala/Byeong Hun An's matches, with both finishing tied.
As for the last games, Collin Morikawa produced his fourth point of the week in a 2&1 win over Adam Scott, with Bezuidenhout and Max Homa both picking up 2&1 victories and a point each for their teams.
