The cream rose to the top on Sunday at Royal Melbourne. Despite trailing 10-8 heading into final-day singles matches, the US ruthlessly spoiled the International team’s dreams of lifting the Presidents Cup for the first time in more than two decades. It started with Tiger Woods and ended with Matt Kuchar as the US set a single-session record with eight points to notch a 16-14 victory over Ernie Els’ gallant squad. Mark Hayes is joined by Ali Whitaker and Martin ‘The Chief’ Blake onsite at the Presidents Cup.
