SUB 60 HEADLINES

The Internationals had this one. Up 10.5–7.5 entering Sunday singles at Medinah Country Club, they were a session away from their first Presidents Cup win since 1998, and their first ever on American soil.

Then the U.S. won singles 9.5–2.5, the most lopsided singles session in tournament history, to complete the largest final-day comeback the Cup has ever seen. Final score: 17–13. Eleventh straight American win, fourteenth overall.

Snedeker would know. He was on the 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team that blew a 10–6 lead on the same grounds: the Miracle at Medinah, from the other side. Fourteen years later, he got to write the ending himself.

“I told the guys last night that funny stuff happens here. Medinah’s got a history of funny things happening.”

Brandt Snedeker, U.S. captain

The points came from everywhere: Cameron Young (3&2), Justin Thomas (5&3), Scottie Scheffler (2&1 over Nico Echavarria, plus a mid-round detour to confront a fan heckling his opponent), Chris Gotterup and Collin Morikawa (both 1 up), Patrick Cantlay (2&1, punctuated by a 57-foot bomb on 16), and Xander Schauffele in the anchor match. Rookie pick Jackson Koivun went 2–0–1 for the week, the only American to leave Medinah unbeaten. But the clinching point belonged to Jacob Bridgeman, who beat Min Woo Lee 1 up with a putt on 18, eight days after his career-best 61 won him the Biltmore Championship. Two trophies in a week and a half.

NISHIMURA GOES WIRE-TO-WIRE

Yuna Nishimura didn’t sneak up on anyone at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship: she led from Thursday and just kept pulling away. Back-to-back 8-under 63s built a five-shot cushion, and a closing 66 sealed it at 21-under 192, five clear of Aki Iwai, Chanettee Wannasaen, and In Gee Chun at Pinnacle Country Club. First LPGA title, first big paycheck: $450,000 of a $3 million purse.

NEXT ON THE TEE: BANK OF UTAH CHAMPIONSHIP

Stroke play is back everywhere. The Bank of Utah Championship runs October 1–4 at Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah: $6 million, 500 FedExCup Fall points, 120 in the field.

Defending champ Michael Brennan (22-under last year, since added a Wyndham Championship win) returns, and so does a hometown story: Salt Lake City native Tony Finau makes his tournament debut after missing the first two editions.
