Snedeker Takes Blame for U.S. Presidents Cup Deficit

The International team leads the Presidents Cup 10½–7½ ahead of Sunday’s 12 singles matches, after building a four-point advantage Friday and holding a three-point lead despite the U.S. rallying Saturday. U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker repeatedly said he believes he has let his players down, citing his decisions and matchups while declining to identify specific mistakes. One decision drawing scrutiny was resting world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler for Saturday afternoon’s foursomes; Snedeker said he wanted Scheffler to have more energy for singles, where he is set to face Nico Echavarria. Snedeker praised the team’s resilience and said he believes it can compete, but a U.S. loss would be the country’s first in the event since 1998.
