We saw greatness at this Presidents Cup: Jordan Spieth’s five birdies to beat Cam Davis 4 and 3 as he went 5-0-0 for the week. We saw players grow up: Davis’ eagle, birdie, birdie finish with partner and boyhood idol Adam Scott on Saturday. And stars were born: Tom Kim.<\/p>\n

Kim’s US equivalent was his Singles opponent Sunday, Max Homa, who won 1 up to run his record to 4-0-0. Homa was the best rookie, the best captain’s pick, and the best quote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s so many people, you can feel them on the back of your neck,\u201d he said after making birdie on 18 to power himself and Billy Horschel to victory over Corey Conners\/Taylor Pendrith in Four-ball on Friday. \u201c\u2026 It’s been amazing to watch these 11 other guys who are incredibly good, incredibly acclaimed, so many accomplishments, cheering us on coming down the stretch. I’ve been in the last match both days, and to be able to see that is special for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homa sat on a wide rostrum with teammates, who suddenly were listening intently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe golf’s amazing,\u201d Homa continued. \u201cBut you remember that kind of stuff well into your days, so I feel very thankful for that. I mean, I was nervous as could be over that putt, but it was fun. I was telling my wife \u2026 money cannot buy that feeling. And that was something that I will remember forever, and I will tell anybody who ever wants to hear about it how that felt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final score of this Presidents Cup won’t reflect that eloquence. Nor will it provide a record of the great shots that were in vain, like Xander Schauffele putting in from well off the 15th green as he and Cantlay went 1 up with three to play over Kim\/Kim on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Those who saw it won’t soon forget Sungjae Im chipping in for birdie on 14 as he and Mu\u00f1oz tied Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the week’s best match, a Four-ball contest Friday. Im\/Mu\u00f1oz birdied six straight back-nine holes and won just one of them. They made nine birdies and no bogeys; Scheffler\/Burns made nine birdies, an eagle, and two bogeys.<\/p>\n

The final score will not reflect the rub of the green, Tom Kim driving into the trees on the first hole Saturday afternoon only to laugh when his ball ricocheded back in the fairway. It will not show how high Spieth’s chip-in bounced when it hit the back of the hole on 15 late Saturday as he and Justin Thomas beat Hideki Matsuyama\/Taylor Pendrith 4 and 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have celebrated M more,\u201d Spieth, the VP of the US Team, said with a wry smile. \u201cIt was going in kind of hard. I didn’t know if it was actually going to go in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
