International captain Peter Thomson led his side to a 20.5-11.5 victory over the Americans at the 1998 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club, in what was the first event to be held outside of the United States.
It was the second-largest margin of victory in the Cup’s history, behind the Americans’ win in 2000 by 11 points.
The Internationals rushed out to a 7-3 lead after Friday’s matchups, before increasing their lead to 14-5-5.5 after Saturday.
The Sunday singles session ended in a 6-6 tie, securing the International team their first and only Presidents Cup victory.
