The United States has once again come away victorious in the Presidents Cup.

While the singles matches did not go exactly as U.S. captain Fred Couples had planned, the American clinched the victory when Tiger Woods lagged a putt on the 18th hole to concession distance, and a victory over Richard Sterne.

That gave the American team the clinching point in this rain-slogged competition.

The United States has owned the Presidents Cup, recording an 8-1-1 mark all-time.
