  • President Cup Match Results and Player Records

    20 Nov 2011

    It was a great weekend for the game of golf, as 24 of the world's best golfers competed in the 2012 President's Cup at Royal Melbourne Country Club in Australia.

    The International team rallied from behind in the morning matches on Sunday, but ultimately the United States team prevailed, as wins by Furyk, Toms, Woods and Stricker in the final 4 afternoon matches sealed the victory 19 to 15 for the United States to win the 2012 President's Cup.

    Jim Furyk, coming off a down year, was the only player to go 5-0, accomplished by only 3 other players in history (Maruyama, O'Meara and Woods). The other big winner was Australia, as despite the loss for the Australian players Allenby, Baddeley, Day, Ogilvy and Scott, the tournament highlighted a world-class golf course and the spirited Australian golf fans.

    Below are the full match results and player records...
