GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- A brief look at the final day of the Presidents Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club:
|
| |
|
| WINNERS: |
The United States, 211/2-101/2, after entering the final day ahead 14-6. In singles, the U.S. team won seven matches and lost five. One match was halved. |
| CUP IS FULL: |
The United States now owns the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup. |
| SWEET REVENGE: |
U.S. players wanted to better the 201/2-101/2 beating given them in Australia two years ago, and they succeeded in winning back the cup. |
| CLINCHER: |
The end came early for the International team. Davis Love III, playing in the fifth match of the day, clinched it when he parred the 15th hole to beat Ernie Els. |
| THEY'RE GOOD: |
Davis Love and Stewart Cink both went 4-0 to lead the U.S. team. Cink's match play partner and fellow rookie, Kirk Triplett, went 3-0-1. |
| HE WASN'T: |
Ernie Els, the world's No. 2-ranked player, didn't win a point all week. He ended up 0-5 after losing his singles match to Love. |
| NO CELEBRATION: |
Unlike the raucous Ryder Cup celebration a year ago, the Presidents Cup ending was muted. Love simply shook hands with captain Ken Venturi and a few teammates. |
| VENTURI'S TOWN: |
Thirty-six years ago, Ken Venturi got the win of his life in the U.S. Open at nearby Congressional Country Club. At Robert Trent Jones Golf Club he was the U.S. captain, and said the win was one of the finest moments of his life. |
| LEFTY BATTLE: |
Sunday featured a battle of lefties, won by Canada's Mike Weir over Phil Mickelson 4 and 3. |
| SHOT OF THE DAY: |
Carlos Franco hit a 5-iron 208 yards from the fairway on the 12th hole. The ball bounced twice and rolled into the cup, giving Franco a rare double eagle. He ended up beating Hal Sutton 6 and 5. |
| QUOTE OF THE DAY: |
"We're back to being the best of friends again." International captain Peter Thomson. |
