Team USA won a ninth successive Presidents Cup by a scoreline of 17.5-12.5 on Sunday evening.
South African Trevor Immelman’s side had given themselves a glimmer of hope after cutting the lead to four points on Saturday.
The hosts however, only needed four and a half points from the singles matches on Sunday to pick up the win and that's what they duly did, with Xander Schauffele holding the winning put to secure the victory.

Jordan Spieth led off with a 4&3 win over Cam Davis to make it five points from five this week before Patrick Cantlay beat Adam Scott 3&2, Tony Finau defeated Taylor Pendrith – who was two up through eight – 3&1 and Sam Burns halved with Hideki Matsuyama.
That paved the way for Schauffele to clinch it with five matches still out on the course.
Highlights for the International side on the last day saw South Korea’s Si Woo Kim, ranked 76th in the world, beating two-time major winner and current world number seven Justin Thomas one up and Colombian Sebastian Munoz taking down world number one and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler 2&1.
