The president cup
United States win Presidents Cup over International team
The US, led by unbeaten Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, prevailed 19-11 to claim the cup for the 10th time in 12 stagings of the biennial event.
The US needed a par on the final hole to retain the overall lead on the first day.
Mickelson, who has an 18-14-10 Presidents Cup record, says he has grown fond of the team clashes.
