Team USA won their tenth consecutive Presidents Cup today and they had some big performances from some key players to thank in the end.

A mini resurgence from the International team had threatened to derail the US but in the end, they pulled back clear and won out with relative ease.

Keegan Bradley secured the winning point by beating Si Woo Kim.

But behind Bradley, there were some superb anchor performances from his teammates.

Xander Schauffele got another point, Patrick Cantlay won with class and the likes of Collin Morikawa and Russell Henley also played their part.

Indeed, there was even room for world number one Scottie Scheffler to slip up as he lost out to Hideki Matsuyama.

Still, Scheffler was a key player all week and according to Paul McGinley, he was among four who really helped captain Jim Furyk get his win.

Speaking for Sky Sports, McGinley was discussing the impact of the top players for Team USA.

And in doing so, he picked out for top stars as being key for Jim Furyk this week.

“American top players have all performed. You look at the win percentage of the top floor, you you look at Cantlay, you look at Schauffele, you look at Scheffler and you look at Morikawa – they’re all three and one,” McGinley said.

“They have produced, they have stood up and certainly Jim [Furyk] has led with them to try to get this done and dusted.

“He did not want to give any initiative at all to let a bit of momentum to build on the International side and the crowd to go with it.”

Scheffler ended his tournament by losing just the one team event alongside his singles match.

However, Xander Schauffele only lost once all week, while Patrick Cantlay also had a three and one record to show his class.

Going into 2025 and the Ryder Cup, you’d imagine all four of these players will be on the team and be key to Keegan Bradley seeking success.
