Keegan Bradley secured the Presidents Cup for the United States on Sunday when he clinched a point in his match against the International Team's Kim Si-woo that lifted his team to the 15-1/2 target needed to retain the trophy in Montreal.

Incredible as that seemed Thursday evening, improbable as it was as late as an hour before Saturday sunset, the Internationals had a chance to do something they’ve done just once in 30 years as the third day of the 2024 Presidents Cup was coming to a close in front of an increasingly spirited Canadian crowd.

The Internationals, in spurts, showed life. They poured in big putts, won convincing matches, even swept the opening foursomes session to enter the weekend tied. For a moment, they likely allowed themselves to believe that they could finally, after 26 years, win another Presidents Cup.
