Presidents Cup 2015 Leaderboard: Final Scores, Prize Money Payouts and More
The USA won the 2015 Presidents Cup for the sixth consecutive tournament, narrowly beating the Internationals 15.5-14.5 on Sunday in Incheon City, South Korea.
Bill Haas, the son of American team captain Jay Haas, clinched the win in the final singles match as he defeated Sangmoon Bae two up.
The U.S. led each of the last four sessions by just one point as the spirited International side ran them close at every turn, but ultimately that point proved decisive as they were unable to overcome the deficit.
Jay Haas gave an emotional interview after the match, per PGA TOUR:
Unlike other golf tournaments, rather than giving out prize money the Presidents Cup instead gives its proceeds to a variety of charities—raising over $32 million since the tournament began in 1994, according to their official website.
Here are the full results from the singles matches:
| Patrick Reed | Halved | Louis Oosthuizen |
| Rickie Fowler | 6&5 | Adam Scott* |
| Dustin Johnson* | 2&1 | Danny Lee |
| J.B. Holmes | 1 Up | Hideki Matsuyama* |
| Bubba Watson | Halved | Thongchai Jaidee |
| Jimmy Walker | 2 Up | Steven Bowditch* |
| Phil Mickelson | 5&4 | Charl Schwartzel |
| Chris Kirk | 1 Up | Anirban Lahiri |
| Jordan Spieth | 1 Up | Marc Leishman* |
| Zach Johnson | 3&2 | Jason Day |
| Matt Kuchar | 2&1 | Branden Grace* |
| Bill Haas | 2 Up | Sangmoon Bae |
Both teams sent some strong players out first with Louis Oosthuizen facing off against Patrick Reed and Adam Scott against Rickie Fowler.
Reed led for much of his match with the South African, and a birdie on the final hole looked to have clinched an early point for the Americans, but incredibly Oosthuizen hit an eagle to share the spoils, per PGA TOUR:
Scott then levelled the scores at 9.5-9.5 with a stunning victory over Fowler, the former picking up several birdies and the latter several bogeys.
Dustin Johnson's win over Danny Lee and Phil Mickelson's thrashing of Charl Schwartzel, as well as halved points between Bubba Watson and Thongchai Jaidee, gave the USA a two-point lead, per the tournament's official Twitter feed:
Hideki Matsuyama quickly reduced the arrears back to one again, though:
Steven Bowditch's win over Jimmy Walker saw the Internationals pull level on 12.5 points apiece.
The 18th hole proved decisive in Anirban Lahiri's loss to Chris Kirk. With the scores all square, Lahiri sent his putt around the rim of the hole for a par, while Kirk sank his birdie putt. Golf Digest highlighted it as a key moment in the overall match:
Marc Leishman salvaged the match as he upset Jordan Spieth, and wins apiece for Zach Johnson and Jason Day meant it all came down to Haas and Bae in the final match.
Haas held a narrow one-hole lead for much of the match, and Bae sank a crucial putt to keep the Internationals' hopes of a draw alive at the 17th, per PGA TOUR:
It was all for nought, though, as the Korean conceded the final hole and U.S. were crowned the victors.
The match was far closer than it has been in recent years, so if the Internationals can put in a similar performance in 2017 they have an excellent chance of winning it for just the second time.
