The Presidents Cup returns to Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 2019, the site of the lone International Team victory in 1998. The largest overall margin of victory in Presidents Cup history after all sessions is 11 points, when the U.S. defeated the International team 21.5 to 10.5 in 2000. Daniel Berger, needing one-half point to clinch the Presidents Cup for the U.S. Team, closed out Si Woo Kim 2 and 1 to become the first-ever Presidents Cup “rookie” to clinch the Cup. Berger, 24, is also the youngest player to clinch the Cup for either side. Four players on the U.S. Team went undefeated this week: Dustin Johnson 4-0-1 Rickie Fowler 3-0-1 Phil Mickelson 3-0-1 Kevin Kisner 2-0-2 Phil Mickelson, playing in his record 12th Singles match, defeated Adam Hadwin 2 and 1 and is now 4-5-3 in Presidents Cup Singles play. Playing as a Captain’s Selection, Mickelson finished the week 3-0-1 and is 6-0-2 in the last two Presidents Cups, both as a Captain’s Selection. His overall record at the Presidents Cup is 26-16-13.

Led by Justin Thomas’ 3-1-1 record, the six U.S. Presidents Cup “rookies” combined for a record of 11-7-4. With Singles losses on Sunday, Matt Kuchar (0-4-0) and Jordan Spieth (0-3-0) are both winless in Singles play in their Presidents Cup careers. Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed became just the 11th duo to earn three or more points together on the week, posting a 3-0-1 record. Two pairings – Louis Oosthuizen/Branden Grace (2015) and Tiger Woods/Steve Stricker (2009)— have won four full points. 2017 Captains’ Picks Records Player Foursomes Four-Ball Singles Overall Charley Hoffman 0-0-0 1-1-0 0-1-0 1-2-0 Phil Mickelson 1-0-1 1-0-0 1-0-0 3-0-1 Emiliano Grillo 0-2-0 0-0-0 0-1-0 0-3-0 Anirban Lahiri 0-0-0 1-1-0 0-0-1 1-1-1 Since 2007, the U.S. Team leads the International Team in Foursomes play 45-17 and in Four-Ball play 33-29. 2017 Presidents Cup Individual Summaries U.S. TEAM Daniel Berger Brooks Koepka Foursome: 0-1-0 Foursome: 0-1-0 Four-Ball: 1-0-0 Four-Ball: 2-0-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Singles: 0-1-0 Total: 2-1-0 Total: 2-2-0 Berger Career Presidents Cup record: 2-1-0 Koepka Career Presidents Cup record: 2-2-0 Kevin Chappell Matt Kuchar Foursome: 0-0-0 Foursome: 2-0-0 Four-Ball: 1-1-0 Four-Ball: 0-0-0 Singles: 0-0-1 Singles: 0-1-0 Total: 1-1-1 Total: 2-1-0 Chappell Career Presidents Cup record: 1-1-1 Kuchar Career Presidents Cup record: 6-8-2 Rickie Fowler Phil Mickelson Foursome: 1-0-1 Foursome: 1-0-1 Four-Ball: 1-0-0 Four-Ball: 1-0-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 3-0-1 Total: 3-0-1 Fowler Career Presidents Cup record: 4-3-1 Mickelson Career record: 26-16-13 Charley Hoffman Patrick Reed Foursome: 0-0-0 Foursome: 2-0-0 Four-Ball: 1-1-0 Four-Ball: 1-0-1 Singles: 0-1-0 Singles: 0-1-0 Total: 1-2-0 Total: 3-1-1 Hoffman Career Presidents Cup record: 1-2-0 Reed Career Presidents Cup record: 4-3-2 Dustin Johnson Jordan Spieth Foursome: 2-0-0 Foursome: 2-0-0 Four-Ball: 2-0-0 Four-Ball: 1-0-1 Singles: 0-0-1 Singles: 0-1-0 Total: 4-0-1 Total: 3-1-1 Johnson Career Presidents Cup record: 8-4-2 Spieth Career Presidents Cup record: 8-5-1 Kevin Kisner Justin Thomas Foursome: 1-0-1 Foursome: 1-0-1 Four-Ball: 1-0-0 Four-Ball: 2-0-0 Singles: 0-0-1 Singles: 0-1-0 Total: 2-0-2 Total: 3-1-1 Kisner Career Presidents Cup record: 2-0-2 Thomas Career Presidents Cup record: 3-1-1 International Team Jason Day Marc Leishman Foursome: 0-1-1 Foursome: 0-1-1 Four-Ball: 0-2-0 Four-Ball: 0-2-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Singles: 0-0-1 Total: 1-3-1 Total: 0-3-2 Day Career Presidents Cup Record: 5-11-4 Leishman Career President’s Cup record: 3-7-3 Branden Grace Hideki Matsuyama Foursome: 1-0-1 Foursome: 0-1-0 Four-Ball: 0-2-0 Four-Ball: 0-1-1 Singles: 0-0-1 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 1-2-2 Total: 1-2-1 Grace Career Presidents Cup record: 6-6-2 Matsuyama Presidents Cup record: 4-6-3 Emiliano Grillo Louis Oosthuizen Foursome: 0-2-0 Foursome: 1-0-1 Four-Ball: 0-0-0 Four-Ball: 0-2-0 Singles: 0-1-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 0-3-0 Total: 2-2-1 Grillo Career Presidents Cup record: 0-3-0 Oosthuizen Career record: 7-5-3 Adam Hadwin Charl Schwartzel Foursome: 0-1-0 Foursome: 0-1-0 Four-Ball: 0-0-1 Four-Ball: 0-1-0 Singles: 0-1-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 0-2-1 Total: 1-2-0 Hadwin Career Presidents Cup record: 0-2-1 Schwartzel Career Presidents Cup record: 7-9-1 Si Woo Kim Adam Scott Foursome: 0-1-0 Foursome: 0-2-0 Four-Ball: 1-0-0 Four-Ball: 0-1-0 Singles: 0-1-0 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 1-2-0 Total: 1-3-0 Kim Career Presidents Cup record: 1-2-0 Scott Career Presidents Cup record: 14-20-5 Anirban Lahiri Jhonattan Vegas Foursome: 0-0-0 Foursome: 0-2-0 Four-Ball: 1-1-0 Four-Ball: 0-2-0 Singles: 0-0-1 Singles: 1-0-0 Total: 1-1-1 Total: 1-4-0 Career: Presidents Cup record: 1-4-1 Vegas Career Presidents Cup record: 1-4-0 .
