JERSEY CITY, N.J. – It was the perfect storm.
As a fall evening slipped away and the most anticlimactic Sunday competition since Tiger Woods took a 10-stroke lead into the final round of the 2000 U.S. Open came to a close, the final score only told a part of the story as the Americans celebrated a 19-11 victory over the International team at the Presidents Cup.
It wasn’t nearly that close.
After three days of utter domination, the U.S. team came out predictably and understandably flat on Sunday, dropping four of the first five singles matches after losing just two full points in the four team sessions.
