Can the U.S. mount a Sunday comeback to avoid a Presidents Cup upset?

After failing to capitalize on a golden opportunity to cut into the International Team’s lead on Saturday, the U.S. will enter Sunday at the Presidents Cup trailing 10.5-7.5. It is the first time in Presidents Cup history that the International Team has led entering Sunday on U.S. soil. Twelve points will be available on Sunday. Can the Americans mount a comeback, or will the International Team complete a historic upset?

Josh Berhow, GOLF.com managing editor: “The Americans might still be the betting favorites—singles is where their superior depth really shines—but let’s get crazy and say the Internationals finally pull off the upset. In 2017, this event was over before the weekend; two years later, the Americans held a two-point lead into the weekend, and in the last two events, the U.S. led 11-7 heading into singles. Now, with the Internationals finally ahead entering Sunday, 10.5-7.5, I think it is just enough cushion to give them not only a head start but also the confidence to realize they can actually do it. And if they win? Then the Presidents Cup finally gets some much-needed juice.”

Josh Sens, GOLF.com senior writer: “This one is going down to the wire, but I see the Internationals scraping out the 15.5 points they need for the Cup, with Nick Taylor and Si Woo Kim keying them down the stretch. That is what any fan of this event should be hoping for, anyway. These events cannot be one-way beatdowns all the time. Otherwise, why bother? Plus, is there anything more entertaining than the obligatory agonizing and second-guessing after an American team loses in an upset?”

Dylan Dethier, GOLF.com senior writer: “The International Team is going to win…by six! They fended off the big, bad red wave on Saturday and will go back on offense Sunday, winning 7.5-4.5 and taking the Cup going away.”

Josh Schrock, GOLF.com associate news editor: “The Internationals win by three. Brandt Snedeker allowed the Internationals to match the two players they had been hiding—Nico Echavarria and Christiaan Bezuidenhout—against Scottie Scheffler and Chris Gotterup, negating the potential for his best player and his hottest player to knock off one of the Internationals’ key players. Si Woo Kim, Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott and Tom Kim will all win their matches, and Nick Taylor will cap it off by beating Russell Henley.”
