The U.S. was victorious at the Presidents Cup last week, coming back from a huge deficit on Sunday to break the hearts of the International squad.

As I wrote back in February, if you fancy yourself a competitive golfer, then you simply have to be playing for money on the course.

MEDINAH, Ill. — The International team lost another Presidents Cup on Sunday, and it’s not a stretch to say that this was one they probably should have won.
