Golf - Presidents Cup - Final Day - Singles Matches

Arms raised, his face awash in sheer joy over the biggest putt of his life, DiMarco charged toward the cup and then into the arms of the captain as the Americans won the Presidents Cup, sending Nicklaus into retirement as a winner with an 18½-15½ victory. Only three matches reached the 18th hole Sunday - the dramatic birdie for Couples, a four-foot birdie by Phil Mickelson to square his match with Angel Cabrera, and DiMarco's winning putt over Stuart Appleby, the biggest shot of a competition loaded with spectacular play. ''He is some competitor,'' International captain Gary Player said of DiMarco, the American star at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club by going 4-0-1 in his matches. Nicklaus already said farewell to the majors this year at an emotional British Open. He doubts he'll be a Presidents Cup captain again, wanting someone else to get a chance, so this likely was his last time in the spotlight, and his last chance to get a victory in this event.
