Kim Si-woo sinks match-winning putt to give Internationals Presidents Cup sweep
Sep 28, 2024 at 06:04 am
Kim Si-woo sank a match-winning 15-foot par putt to give the Internationals a sweep of Friday's foursomes matches and equal the United States at 5-5 at the Presidents Cup.
Kim Si-woo's 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole gave the Internationals a sweep of Friday's foursomes matches at the Presidents Cup to equal the United States at 5-5 heading into the weekend at Royal Montreal.
Kim's heroics completed a stunning fightback by the global golfers, who had not won a session in the alternate-shot format since 2005, losing 17 in a row.
"I saw the first four groups winning points and I knew I needed the point," said Kim. "We're game on."
After dropping all five four-ball matches on Thursday, the Internationals routed an American lineup that boasted 12 of the world's 25 top-ranked players.
Kim capped the incredible rally with his putt to complete a 1-up win for him and countryman Ben An over top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley. Neither side was ever more than 1-up.
"That was amazing," said An. "We came back strong. Glad we're back in the game."
The Americans, who lead the overall rivalry against the non-European side 12-1-1, swept Thursday's five four-ball matches to seize command in quest of a 10th consecutive win.
"Every great comeback story starts with a deficit," said Internationals captain Mike Weir. "That was the message and the guys were very motivated.
"We responded incredibly. I believed in the guys. We just wanted to get ourselves back in this -- 5-0 was a bonus -- and the guys just played unbelievable."
Never before in Presidents or Ryder Cup history had there been sweeps in back-to-back sessions.
"They played a lot of great golf. We've got a tough match on our hands," said US captain Jim Furyk. "I hope that sticks with everyone. I hope there's a pit in their stomach tonight."
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and South Korean Im Sung-jae routed Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay 7&6 in the first match to equal the largest match win in Cup history.
"From the beginning our vibe was vibing," said Im through a translator. "Our teamwork was amazing. When I hit the shot, he would finish with the perfect putt."
They combined to birdie the last seven holes, eight overall, and never lost a hole.
"Really happy. It was a tough challenge for us," said Matsuyama through a translator. "But Sung-jae had a perfect tee shot on the first hole. That brought us the momentum."
Australian Adam Scott and Canada's Taylor Pendrith beat Sahith Theegala and Collin Morikawa 5&4, putting Scott's 22nd Cup point past Ernie Els for the all-time Internationals record.
"We didn't get deflated," said Scott. "We knew we were playing well and we just had to get on with it.
"There's a lot of fight in this team and we're not going to go away."
Canada's Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes beat Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau 6&5, while South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Aussie Jason Day won 1-up over Max Homa and Brian Harman in other matches.
"It was good to see the first match out go 7&6," said Bezuidenhout. "We got off to a great start, all the teams. It was amazing."
The Cup continues with four matches in each format on Saturday ahead of 12 concluding singles matches on Sunday.
