And to do that for your team and country was super cool to watch.” They went through their same routine that I've seen guys go through for the final round of the Masters when they're in the final group. And the kind of team rooms that I've mentioned that we've had the last few years, it's going to stay that way, and I'm very confident in our ability to go over there and win. I mean, I've played in a couple of away games now, and they're very different,” the Texan said after going 5-0, the fourth American to run the tables.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – His ball, club, hat, heart, and the inhibitions of the International Team.

But they knew, we all knew, and everyone spilled into the North Carolina night happy to tell anybody who asks how that felt. Homa was the best rookie, the best captain’s pick, and the best quote. It will not show how high Spieth’s chip-in bounced when it hit the back of the hole on 15 late Saturday as he and Justin Thomas beat Hideki Matsuyama/Taylor Pendrith 4 and 3. “I would have celebrated more,” Spieth, the MVP of the U.S. The scoreboard can’t measure that sort of thing, or explain how 12 men played for each other, the flag, the shield. The final score of this Presidents Cup won’t reflect that eloquence. Those who saw it won’t soon forget Sungjae Im chipping in for birdie on 14 as he and Muñoz tied Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the week’s best match, a Four-ball contest Friday. “It was going in kind of hard. I’ve been in the last match both days, and to be able to see that is special for me.” We saw greatness at this Presidents Cup: Jordan Spieth’s five birdies to beat Cam Davis 4 and 3 as he went 5-0-0 for the week. won the 2022 Presidents Cup 17.5 – 12.5.

The U.S. Cup veteran collected a perfect record at Quail Hollow to help his team win, but can he do what others have done and use it as momentum toward a ...

"I used my example in here of the 2014 Ryder Cup and the 2015 season," he said, referring to his success with Patrick Reed at Gleneagles, and winning two majors the following year. If he thinks the 5-0 run at Quail Hollow can vault him to a solid 2023, then it's a good bet it will come true. If Spieth does inherit the Cup Bounce mojo from Scheffler, what might that look like? It wasn't just the wins, either; it was the quality of his play, marked by the litany of long putts he hit, one after another, on Sunday.
