Tiger Woods leads US to President cup glory

World number 1 Tiger Woods lead Team USA to President’s Cup victory. He defeated 41st-ranked Richard Sterne of South Africa 1 up to win the trophy, countering an Internationals fightback and helping the Americans to 8-1-1 in the overall rivalry in the Presidents Cup with their fifth win in a row.

The Australian quoted Tiger Woods: “It feels good. It was a tough day, tough conditions, rain, wind all around. It was a long week, but it was worth it.

“(My back) went out on me at 14 and from then on it just kept getting worse. We played a lot of holes the last couple days so a lot of our guys are dinged up and unfortunately I was one of them.”

The US Captain, Fred Couples had recorded his third triumph as the team leader.

“Three in a row and Tiger has the winning point all three times – that’s pretty good. A three-peat is good enough for me.”

Internationals captain Nick Price was proud of his team’s rally.

He said: “We’re a real hodgepodge team that came from the four corners of the world and gave the might of America a run for their money.

“The all played incredibly well. They tried their hardest and I’m proud to be their captain.”
