Brandt Snedeker thanked Donald Trump for his pre-match support and praised Jackson Koivun after the U.S. clinched the Presidents Cup with a 9.5–2.5 win in Sunday’s singles at Medinah. Koivun rallied to beat Si Woo Kim for a point.
Trump spoke to the team on the first tee before Sunday’s singles. Snedeker said Trump told him the team needed his energy and that Snedeker had promised to give Trump credit if the U.S. won.
Snedeker said he put Koivun in a difficult position and praised the 21-year-old for handling it, particularly his final two shots. He also praised rookie Jacob Bridgeman for earning his first Presidents Cup point.
