United States win Presidents Cup

10:45 am on 12 October 2009

Tiger Woods delivered the clinching point as the United States won the eighth Presidents Cup match play golf tournament.

Woods's 6 and 5 triumph over South Korean Yang Yong-Eun - the man who beat Woods for the PGA Championship title - gave the Americans an unbeatable lead.

The Americans won for the sixth time in eight editions of the event, which pits a US team against an Internationals squad drawn from everywhere in the world except Europe.

Woods completed a perfect 5-0 week at San Francisco's Harding Park Golf Course, joining compatriot Mark O'Meara and Japan's Shigeki Maruyama as the only players to win every match.
