[Keegan] I'm always looking for extra things to motivate me,
and I have a lot to prove to myself,
and I always feel like I'm trying to prove myself to the… to the golfing world
and showed, you know, maybe I would've been a nice fit
for some of these teams that I didn't get on.
And so the Presidents Cup is something that I really wanna play in.
It would mean everything to make the team.
I can't go through what I went through last year.
Gonna try my very hardest, like I always do.
I feel like every week is do or die.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] Beautiful Castle Pines Golf Club
in the final round of the BMW Championship.
Less than a year ago, you can't imagine the despair
and the dejection that was felt by Keegan Bradley
when he was left off the Ryder Cup team.
And you would expect
that if Keegan Bradley was to win this championship,
how could you leave him off the Presidents Cup team?
[cheering and applause]
[commentator] Keegan Bradley takes the BMW again.
[announcer] Congratulations to Keegan Bradley,
this year's champion of the BMW Championship.
…Presidents Cup. You wanna be there in Montreal.
I have no pressure towards anything.
[pundit] I don't see how they'd leave you off.
[Dethier] The Presidents Cup happens every other year,
and it pits the United States Team
against the rest of the world, minus Europe.
- I-N-T! - It's team golf, but with Tom Kim.
- [commentator] Got it! - [cheers]
[commentator] There is nothing like it in golf, the Presidents Cup.
[Wilson] Similar to the Ryder Cup,
the Presidents Cup has 12 spots up for grabs.
Six spots are earned, and six spots are picked by the captains.
This is the ultimate global showdown.
You're playing for your country, for pride, and for your teammates.
And it's a pressure a lot of these guys are just not used to.
[commentator] The Presidents Cup belongs to the United States.
[Keegan] I'm trying my hardest not to get too wrapped up in this.
I'd love to be on the team.
[Balionis] There's a lot on the line in a Presidents Cup year
when Team USA is coming off a loss at the Ryder Cup.
These guys are feeling really fiery.
They feel like they have something to prove.
For the International Team, they will be considered the underdogs
until they finally get that breakthrough win.
[Camilo] The US is extremely strong when it comes to golf,
and the International Team has not won in many years,
and we wanna change that.
[dramatic music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[pundit] We are just moments away from learning
who will complete the teams for Jim Furyk and Mike Weir.
I'm curious to see who's riding into battle today.
[announcer] Good afternoon. Welcome to the Royal Montreal Golf Club.
We'll start with International Team Captain Mike Weir,
and then we'll go to US Team Captain Jim Furyk. Mike?
[pundit 2] Mike Weir has said, "I could have up to six Canadians on this team,
but they have to earn their way in."
All of Canada is going to be wanting as many Canadians as possible.
[Mike] Super excited to announce my picks.
We have Christiaan Bezuidenhout from South Africa.
A rookie, Min Woo Lee.
Another veteran in Si Woo Kim.
And then we have the Canadians.
Corey Conners.
We have Taylor Pendrith.
The last Canadian is Mackenzie Hughes.
[pundit] Let's take a look at this team as a whole.
As Mike mentioned, three Canadians selected
in Conners, Hughes, and Pendrith.
No Nick Taylor and no Adam Hadwin.
[Nick] It was disappointing, but at the same time,
I can use this as fuel
to get me up in the morning and go to the gym
and hit balls and stuff.
[woman] That's okay.
[announcer] Floor is yours, Jim. Who are your six captain's picks
for Royal Montreal?
[Jim] I'm gonna start out with Sam Burns,
Russell Henley,
Keegan Bradley,
Max Homa,
Brian Harman,
and Tony Finau.
[pundit] And Jim, it looks like, went down the list
from 7 through 12 on the Presidents Cup's list.
Just very excited to get this going, you know,
against a good rival, good friend, Jim. Captain Furyk here.
Uh, we're very aware that we're in an away game.
We're very aware that 99% of this crowd is not gonna be pulling for us.
I'm excited about the 12 guys I got. I think they have to be ready for it.
[Jim] It means a lot to everyone,
and, uh, I've got 12 guys that are jacked up and excited, which is fun.
[Keegan] We were in our bedroom when Jim called?
[Jillian] Mm-hmm.
And I think I told you,
which I meant, like, if he called and said I wasn't on the team,
I would've understood.
I was, like, almost half expecting it, to be honest.
He could have easily not picked me.
I told him a million times how thankful I am.
[Keegan] I promised myself, after last year,
I was gonna take a step back
and not be super hyper-focused on making these teams,
because when we didn't make that team,
it took a lot out of me, but it also took a lot out of Jillian, the family.
[tense music playing]
- Hey, Zach. - [Zach] Hey, buddy.
[sighs] There's no easy way to say this, my friend.
Um…
I find it just best to go in a different direction this year.
I would love to take 30 guys,
and I cannot.
And just know that I am so grateful for you.
Okay, Zach, I… I understand.
I'm, um, wishing you, obviously, good luck
and hope you guys go over there and win it.
[Zach] Thank you, Keegs. I appreciate you, buddy.
Who's that? Who is that?
What are you guys doing?
- Nothing. - Nothing, honey.
Give Dad a squeeze.
- Why? - He needs it.
[Jillian] It was really disappointing to see him go through that.
It just broke both of our hearts.
That stinks.
You know, but immediately,
Keegan tapped into, "All right, well, I'm making the Presidents Cup Team."
It's so rewarding that he's finally being put in a light
that I've always seen and known
and, like, haven't ever doubted for, like, a second. You know?
I think, like, in life, in any job,
some people work as hard as they can.
They put everything into what they're doing.
They make sacrifices. They sacrifice for their family.
They do all this stuff, but don't always get the payoff.
Yeah.
So when you do get the opportunity, it feels really great.
[boy] Hola, Netflix.
Hola, Full Swing.
- Hola, Full Swing. - Ha!
- [boy speaking Spanish] - [woman speaking Spanish]
[woman in English] Someone's gonna get your food, Mateo.
[Camilo] Hey, Pixie.
[in Spanish] Mate, for your muscles. Meat.
- Who has big muscles? - Me.
[Camilo in English] I'm Camilo Villegas.
I'm very fortunate to be an assistant captain,
second time at the Presidents Cup.
Honored to be a part of this team.
[in Spanish] Meat?
To be strong like who?
Like Daddy.
- [woman] Like Daddy. - [Camilo] Like Daddy.
[in English] Camilo Villegas, he is one of the more beloved players on the PGA TOUR.
[commentator] …for Camilo Villegas,
champion on the PGA TOUR.
[Balionis] Multiple-time winner on the PGA TOUR,
has played in multiple team events.
He's just really well respected all the way around.
[commentator] Camilo Villegas is back in the winner's circle.
The Latin players there to celebrate.
He's very current. He won last year. He's out there.
He was in a lot of the pairings with a lot of our guys.
He was a great guy to kind of lean on to see how guys are playing.
So choosing someone like Camilo is a no-brainer.
But I was happy when he called me to be an assistant.
[man chuckles] I can tell you that.
I'm like, "Fucker, why did you make me wait so long?"
[Tom] He's ready to go. He's ready to fight. We need that.
And he's a very, very important part of our team,
and for my matches, when he's right there next to me, I feel confident.
I feel like I wanna take a bullet for him, and I think he's that way for us.
[Mateo speaking Spanish]
Do you want to go to the golf course? Hit some balls?
[laughing]
My neighbor went to the same school that Camilo went,
so I've known him for my whole life. [chuckles]
Mommy's not gonna be able to eat, because she has to hold you.
You're gonna fall from the chair.
[Camilo] Mateo is our son.
He's been a light to us. He's been
a relief.
To kind of…
kind of add to a… add to a broken family after we lost Mia.
[Maria] When Mia was born, for the first time in my life,
I felt I don't need anything else, you know?
I have everything I dreamed of,
and this little girl just made me whole.
[Camilo] Mia, she had great energy,
and you would've never thought this was coming.
[Maria] When Mia was 17 months old, she started not feeling well.
One night, she wasn't able to sleep for the whole night,
and that night, she started grabbing her head.
Uh, and so the next morning, I said to Camilo,
"We have to do something. I don't like this."
[Camilo] I had to pick up the phone and call Barbara and Jack Nicklaus
and ask them for a little help.
The Nicklaus Children's run a few tests, and, uh… and our lives changed.
Mia's life changed. And a… a battle began.
[Maria] We found a mass on Mia's brain.
She had brain and spine cancer.
And they told us, "Okay, we need to do a surgery right now,"
to remove what they could remove from the main brain tumor.
Unfortunately, Mia's cancer was very aggressive.
It was a very tricky time
because it happened right with COVID when the lockdown started.
Both of our families are in Colombia.
Lockdown, borders are closed.
There's no way to get them here.
Welcome to Mia's room. Smile and be happy!
[Camilo] I remember calling my brother and looking at Mia,
giving her a hug, and just kind of breaking… breaking apart.
Just crying. And… and… and… and he would tell me,
"I need you to breathe."
And breathing was the only thing that stopped my crying.
I was broken down.
She had five brain surgeries,
the strongest treatment, chemo treatment.
um, multiple different, you know, tests, and all these things.
[Camilo] And, um…
after five months, uh, she was in a better place.
She's always with us. She's there.
It's like Mateo says.
[in Spanish] You hit that one hard.
[Camilo in English] He knows he has a sister.
He knows she doesn't live here with us, but he knows she's there.
[rooster crows]
[Keegan] Logan, go deep!
Make it! Yes!
- Celebration time. Do a celebration. - [Jillian] Do it.
- [Keegan] Ooh. - [Jillian laughs]
- That was cool. I've never seen that one. - That's a new one he's been working on.
Maria was one of the first gals
that I had met when I moved here to Florida.
So welcoming and so warm and kind.
They're really special and important people in our lives.
- Looks like it's you and me, Coopsy! - [Jillian] Yay!
[Jillian] That time when Mia was sick was just so horrible.
[Keegan] My oldest was Mia's age.
They had played together and were growing up together.
Are you hanging on tight?
I knew this little girl was gone, and I just… I just didn't… I…
You didn't know what to do.
I can't imagine what it was like for Maria and Camilo.
[Jillian] Wow.
- [Cooper] Corn maze! - [Keegan] Corn maze.
[Keegan] It brings everything back to what's important.
Logan, put this on.
- This is stunning out here. Stunning. - [Jillian] I know.
[Keegan] I always have somebody barking in the back of my head,
"You're not working hard enough." There's always a guy yelling at me,
"Somebody's working harder. You're not good enough."
And then there's the other guy saying,
"You're not spending enough time with your family."
"Your boys are gonna be out of the house, and you're gonna regret doing this."
'Cause financially, I could stop doing this right now.
So it's a bit of a selfish need to wanna keep going.
[Jillian] Look at his big teeth!
- [Keegan] Here. Drop it in. - [Jillian] Oh, good try.
- Oh yay! Right down the chute. - [Cooper] Bull's-eye!
[Keegan] It's a tough balance.
You guys, are you serious?
- [Keegan] Whoa. - I know. Wait a minute.
I just want that moment of, "This was all worth it."
- [Cooper] Yeah! - [Jillian] Yeah!
Are we running?
- I'm gonna kick your butt, bro. - [chuckles]
[Camilo] Mia, she's inspiring us to… to give back
to those going through similar situations,
and now we have our Mia's Miracles Foundation.
[Luke] Whoo!
You know, life goes in circles.
And, um, we can sit here and talk about all the good and bad things.
[Maria] Should it be here?
[Camilo] Mia was in this world for a short period of time.
But, uh, her impact is gonna be huge.
Even after losing your daughter, we realize how fortunate we were
just being at Nicklaus Children's with the support of the people.
Ah.
- [Mateo speaking indistinctly] - [Maria chuckles]
I always cry at these things. But, uh…
Um…
[man] Love you!
[Camilo sniffles] Um…
I always said I wish Mia was here, but Mia is helping us grow.
Opening our hearts.
And it's unbelievable, the energy that we receive,
day in, day out… [sniffles]
…um, from our friends, from our family, from everybody that's here.
We're different people, both Camilo and I, and we're never gonna be the same.
[woman] On your mark, get set, go!
[Maria] But I think his career, golf,
it's the biggest healer for him.
[Camilo] The support I received from my peers,
from the PGA TOUR, from the golf world was great.
Being an assistant captain is a way to give back a bit.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm honored to be part of this team, to try to turn things around.
[tense music playing]
[cheering and applause]
Let's go!
[Mike] I'm very excited, very nervous,
but that all comes with being part of a big event like this.
[man] Yes!
The Chef has arrived, baby! What's cooking?
- How are you? You good? - Good, yeah. Let's do this, baby!
[Min Woo] First time playing the Presidents Cup. I'm excited.
I'm excited to represent the team, to wear the black and gold shield.
It will be a very big honor.
And another suitcase?
I'm glad I didn't bring too much stuff.
[Tom] What I love about the Presidents Cup
is we're such an individual sport that for that one week,
you have 12 brothers you absolutely adore and want the best for.
- [man] Yeah! You ready to go up? - [Tom] Yeah.
[Camilo] There's a plan in place. There's a purpose.
I have a good feeling. I think this team is… is… is ready to perform.
- What's going on, guys? - [woman] Welcome!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Camilo] If we're gonna beat the US Team,
we need to just unite a team from around the whole world
and try to match them as good as possible to go fight out there.
[Wilson] For Team USA, these guys play together all the time.
They've been competing since they were in junior golf together,
so they know each other very well.
The International Team, there's a different set of challenges.
[Balionis] That is a massive melting pot
that you have to get all on the same page in a really short period of time.
I'm excited. I got excited.
[Min Woo] The Americans have beaten us Internationals
probably 95% of the time.
I think we've won once and tied once,
so hopefully this year we can do some work.
So the poutine's supposed to be, like, halloumi-y.
It's great.
[Mike] We're going to see the team cabin for the first time.
Oh, oh, oh.
- Wow. This is incredible. Wow. - Oh my goodness.
[Mike] Look how good the pictures are.
Wow.
I don't feel like as much of an underdog, our team, as maybe the past we have been.
I think just the momentum we have,
we have a lot of guys really playing well, too, which is great.
- Makes me wanna go play. Let's go. - [laughs]
I think when it comes to world ranking,
it's the closest we've been in… in… in probably 20-something years.
That being said, the US Team is a very strong team.
They seem to be favorites coming in all these team competitions.
But we've also seen what Team Europe has done in Ryder Cups,
and we just try to follow their steps.
It's been a tough challenge for us from a performance point of view,
from a history and results point of view.
But that's why there's a big project, and it's to… to try to turn things around.
[Dethier] Camilo is the perfect fit as a vice captain,
in part, because he's just a beloved player
who's seen every side of professional golf.
But it's also fitting that he's in this support role
for the International Team when he has gotten so much support
from the international golf community since losing Mia.
[woman] Okay, you guys, it is Tuesday of the Presidents Cup,
and we have a team luncheon.
Then all the women are gonna get hair and makeup done
so we can be glammed out and ready for team photos tonight.
We're gonna be looking good.
[overlapping chatter]
[chuckles]
[Michelle] Babe!
- Yeah! This is so good. - Do you like my look?
- It looks so good. - I look like Doña Florinda.
Do you wanna… do you wanna see my inspiration?
[woman] Yes, I would love to.
- Oh my gosh. Stop it. - [woman] Nailed it.
- Nailed it, right? [laughs] - [woman] Nailed it.
[Michelle] Stop it.
[Maria] Let's see. Should I try a small?
- Yeah, try a small. - [Maria] Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
I didn't realize that Thursday was Mia's birthday.
- Yes. She would be six. So… - How are you doing?
She's gonna be… I'm good.
- Yeah? - Yeah. I'm good.
I know she's where she's supposed to be, so…
I've always wondered, like, how…
[emotional music playing]
[choking up] …just, like, how you…
not rationalize it, but how you make sense of it.
- It's hard to put it into words. - [Michelle] Mm-hmm.
But I know this is our mission.
This is my mission. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
And when everything started happening, and when the first person told me one day,
they were like, "You know, Mia might not make it."
"And maybe the best thing for her is, like, she'll go to Heaven."
And in that moment, I was like, "No. I'll die… I'll die with her."
"I'll die with her."
- [mouths] Yeah. - And, um, I thought my life would be over.
But then you think about what would Mia want for me.
She would want me to live, and she would want me to be happy,
and she would want me to thrive.
So it's kind of like she's living life through my eyes now.
[Michelle] Wow. [sighs]
You are amazing.
- No, thank you. - No, I…
[Maria] I knew what an amazing community we had,
but I never imagined to experience so much love.
It's very hard to describe.
Everyone has just gone above and beyond,
and we have felt so extremely loved.
You know, it's like… We're… we're like a family, a little family.
Okay, no crying.
- No, the makeup. - The makeup. [laughs]
- We've got parties to go to. - Yeah.
Photos to take.
- In my beautiful Doña Florinda look. - [Michelle laughs]
[Michelle] So what Maria and Camilo have gone through
has really brought, especially, our international family together
to help support them.
It really goes to show you the beauty of this game at this level
is something so magical.
And it… it is incredibly competitive, but when the hard things happen,
we show up for each other, and that is what is so beautiful.
[uplifting music playing]
[Michelle] The International Team is so special.
You have people from Australia,
South Africa, Korea,
Japan, Colombia, Canada all coming together to create one team.
That international unity that has to come together
is something really magical that I don't think the US Team has.
[Camilo] I think our team this year is… is very united.
Our shield kind of unites us,
and I think the… the guys have really embraced it.
It's nice to be identified more as one,
and we really worked on understanding the different cultures,
understanding the different players,
and trying to get them together to understand
that there's a bigger purpose, uh, behind this event,
and, uh, it's been great.
[Dethier] All these guys talk about how special these team events are.
You're not playing for money or yourself.
You're playing for your teammates and your brothers and your country.
Good, and then just, like, a… [clicks]
No, that looks phenomenal.
[Camilo] After a very, very special day,
being with the wives and the excitement and the crowds,
now we're coming back tomorrow very focused and ready to play.
Let's go, rock and roll, fuckers.
[all laugh]
[Jim] Yeah, the International Team, definitely
solid players, skilled, talented,
and they've got some veteran leadership.
And so, yes, there's a nervous energy about it,
but I'm confident. I mean, we have a good team. Of course I'm confident.
Going into the Presidents Cup, Keegan and I looked at each other and said,
"Man, wouldn't it be nice to just shut off our brains for even just a few days?"
'Cause it's impossible.
You're thinking about what's coming and the gravity of that.
And I think one of his biggest fears going into the Presidents Cup is,
you know, having a nightmare week, which can happen. It's golf.
[Keegan] The closer you get to that first round, like,
"Okay, this is real." [chuckles]
Meanwhile, in the back of my mind, I'm still nervous.
Like, "Oh shit, I gotta get ready to do this."
"This is coming, whether I like it or not."
"I'm gonna be on that first tee with a partner, playing for my country,
and the other team is gonna wanna kill me."
[Rapaport] The pressure in these events is always a lot to deal with.
But for Keegan Bradley, it's undoubtedly more.
After being left off the Ryder Cup team in really heartbreaking fashion,
just a couple of months ago,
both Keegan and the rest of the golf world were dealt some really surprising news.
[announcer] Thank you for joining us today
for the 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain announcement.
[announcer 2] For over 100 years, the role of the Ryder Cup captain
is one of the most prestigious titles in our sport.
I'm here to announce our Ryder Cup captain,
on behalf of the over 30,000 PGA professionals across the country,
Keegan Bradley.
[applause]
I'm so honored to be able to be the leader of this team,
going to Bethpage to win the Ryder Cup back, uh, for America.
Keegan Bradley will serve as the US Ryder Cup captain
in 2025 at Bethpage.
Your reaction to this news?
Uh, very surprised.
[pundit] He's got no track record in captaining in teams.
That's what is surprising.
There's absolutely going to be a ton of pressure on Bradley to deliver.
[Balionis] I think there's gonna be a lot of extra pressure for Keegan Bradley
to prove that he deserves this captaincy spot.
And he will tell you, he's been playing with a chip on his shoulder
since the day he got out on the PGA TOUR.
And now that Keegan has been honored with this captaincy role,
that chip is very much back on his shoulder
to prove that he's deserving of it.
[Keegan] It's an honor of a lifetime,
one I never knew that I would get the opportunity to do.
If you put the trophy in your left hand…
[Keegan] I wanna show the team their Ryder Cup captain can still play
and can still go out there
and handle the pressure of one of these events.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] Another Presidents Cup has arrived at Royal Montreal,
and that means one of the great scenes in all of sport.
USA, baby! USA!
[commentator] The second Presidents Cup staged here in Canada.
[Camilo] Time has come.
The boys have really kind of embraced the practice and getting ready.
[uplifting music playing]
[Camilo] Uh, they wanna compete.
[sparse applause]
Let's go. Let's go, baby.
[Camilo] And we know we have a big challenge in front of us.
[Tony] The International Team has an incredible squad.
They got guys that are world beaters on the other side,
and they wanna win really bad, so we gotta put our best foot forward.
[Keegan] I ain't done this in so long.
I'm so nervous and so scared. [laughs]
[cheering]
[commentator] The first tee set with 4,000 in the stands.
[crowd chanting] I-N-T! I-N-T! I-N-T! I-N-T!
Yes.
[Camilo] Montreal has great fans, very passionate.
There's always a Canadian flag at every event.
There's always somebody dressed up
in the funky outfit with the red and white,
and then the energy's up.
And, uh, we need them. We need that energy.
[tense music playing]
[Maria] Once the tournament starts, that competitiveness comes out,
and you just wanna, like, crush the other team.
[laughs]
Although you love them too
because, you know, we've been playing golf with them forever,
but it's just, like, a totally different setting.
[Jillian] One of my best friends,
Maria Villegas, is on the International Team.
She was in my wedding, bridesmaid,
and we just kind of knew once things got…
We just sort of walked on different sides of the fairway.
For that one little stretch of time, everything seems life or death.
[cheering and applause]
[commentator] The first of five four-ball matches
is about to be introduced, and here they come.
And the International Team trying to turn things around.
The US has won 12 of the 14 Presidents Cups,
including nine straight.
[cheering and applause]
[Tom] Standing up in the first tee and seeing thousands of people there,
I mean, you don't really have to say anything else. It's… it's go time, baby.
[cheering and applause]
[Rapaport] The Presidents Cup, like the Ryder Cup, is match play,
which means guys go head-to-head.
So you win a hole, you go one up.
You lose a hole, you go one down.
At the end, whoever wins the most holes wins the match.
Most matches are two-on-two. And then on Sunday,
everyone plays by themselves.
Every match is worth one point.
There are 30 total matches so 30 total points.
Whichever team wins 15.5 points,
they win the Presidents Cup.
[cheering]
[commentator] Tony Finau, who's now in his third Presidents Cup.
[Tony] The reason why you're sent out first
is because you wanna see, uh, red, white, and blue first.
And so a lot of emotions are going on, but more so just trying to be locked in.
[Alayna] It really is nerve-racking for us. Like, "Ah!"
Like, I wanted to cry. I was just holding my breath.
[cheering and applause]
[cheering]
[commentator] Jason Day is next.
Oh, Jason Day! Spectacular start here for the International side.
They grab the first win on the opening hole.
[announcer] The players representing the United States Team
are Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley.
[cheering and applause]
[Jillian] It's such a nerve-racking event.
It makes me wanna puke. it makes me wanna cry,
and it's just… I get goosebumps all over.
[commentator 2] Keegan Bradley was wondering
if he would ever get an opportunity
to play in one of these team competitions again.
Not only is he the next Ryder Cup captain for the US,
he makes this Presidents Cup team.
Right down the middle of the fairway.
[cheering]
[commentator 2] Tom Kim trying to fight back.
[cheering]
[commentator 2] Got it to go.
I like to see the guys act like this, like, during the tournament.
Totally, 'cause during the normal tournaments, they're so…
- Like, tunnel vision. - Yeah.
[commentator 2] And Scheffler to tie.
How's that?
[cheering and applause]
[commentator 2] Whoa!
[Camilo] I've never seen Scottie Scheffler react like that.
You gotta be careful because emotions can move you in different directions,
for good and bad.
[commentator 2] And for birdie, it's Tom Kim.
Can he do it again?
- Whoa! - [cheering]
[commentator 2] Scheffler right there to hear it again.
[commentator 3] He turned his back to him. Didn't even look at him.
[man] Whoo!
[commentator 2] Kim and Im have left. They've gone to the ninth tee box already.
They have just left the green.
[commentator 3] Bordering on bad behavior. That's disrespectful, in my opinion.
[Camilo] I told Tom and Sungjae to just move aside.
I didn't want Scottie to have a chance to make the putt on number eight
and take a look at Tom the way he did on number seven.
Didn't look great, but those things happen.
No bad intentions behind it.
[crowd] Oh!
[cheering]
[Dethier] The moment with Tom Kim kind of upped the ante, I think.
I think it energized the US Team to say, "Hey, wait a minute."
"If you dish it out, you gotta be able to take it."
"This is sports, and we're gonna remind you of that."
[commentator 2] Tony Finau, he can pitch this in for birdie.
- Oh, and he did! - [cheering]
[commentator 2 chuckles] How about that shot?
Wyndham Clark's birdie putt.
Perfection.
[Jillian] Those moments that kind of let the emotions spill through,
very intense, very quickly.
I'm glad that happened. It really did just light a fire in everyone.
[commentator 2] Keegan Bradley from short of the green.
Birdie would win the hole.
Oh man, tracking!
Right in the heart!
[cheering]
- Whoo! - Whoo!
[commentator 2] There it is.
[cheering]
[commentator] It just seems like it's so silent out there right now.
Let's go back over to 18,
and Keegan Bradley has a chance to close it out right here.
Come on, bring it. Let's go, come on.
Let's go.
[Wilson] Round 1, it all comes down to Keegan's final putt on 18.
If he misses, the International Team gets a half point for the day.
But if he makes it, that secures a full 5-0 sweep for Team USA.
[Keegan] No other matches around the course.
All the wives were there.
And I thought, "Jeez, dude, this is a moment right here."
[commentator] Big bender for Keegan.
[cheering]
[commentator] And Keegan Bradley with a final dagger
of a dominating day by the Americans.
[Dethier] There's been all this buildup that maybe this could be the year
the International Team takes down the Americans.
And then day one, the air just gets let out of the balloon.
It feels like proof
that these two teams don't even belong on the same golf course.
- Good job. - My man! How good is that, dude?
- Gotta be so fun to make. - Ten years of pent-up energy.
- That was awesome. - I knew it. Thanks.
I called it before you hit it.
"He'll go wild when he makes this." And you did.
[Keegan] We thought we were gonna be tough to beat before this day,
but then after this day, we thought, "5-0 lead."
That's like leading a basketball game by 30 points. It's a big lead.
- That was fun! - [Keegan] Yeah, baby!
- Gosh, that was nice! - [Keegan laughs]
[Wilson] USA came out, punched 'em in the mouth.
They said, "This is our tournament, just like we told you it was gonna be."
"Now what are you gonna do about it?"
[solemn music playing]
[Camilo] Yesterday was a tough one, but it's behind.
It's Friday now, and we gotta focus on today.
The boys have been playing golf forever, and, uh, they know what they're doing.
It… it… it just happened to be a tough day,
especially toward the end where they kind of flipped a bunch of matches and, uh…
I mean, we can't expect to go and just
really get on such a strong team like the… like the US.
I don't think we can level things out right away or expect to.
We just need to focus on kind of winning sessions by a point
and see if we can give ourselves a chance on… on Sunday.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] Day two of the Presidents Cup,
where the International side is hoping
that this home Canadian crowd can spur them on to a comeback on this Friday.
They need it.
So Mike says there was always a plan for you not to play today.
Did you kind of hope that you would?
Doesn't matter for me.
As long as we win points, that's… that's the most that matters for me.
So will you be out there trying to do…
Absolutely. That's why I'm here before the team, trying to get the crowds going.
[Tom] The crowds were quiet on Thursday for some reason,
and we wanted some love, and I made sure we were gonna get some love.
[cheering and applause]
[Mike] You know, there's ebbs and flows in the course of four days.
Big ebbs and flows, even in the course of a day,
so keeping that crowd involved is really important.
[crowd chanting] I-N-T! I-N-T! I-N-T! I-N-T!
[Keegan] There's a different atmosphere today.
I could feel it right at the start.
The crowd was louder. There was more people.
The crowd got the message to… to pick it up a notch.
[Camilo] It's time to let the emotions go and play some good golf.
[commentator] So it'll be Sungjae Im to get things going.
That's 285 yards, Dan, to carry that bunker.
Three hundred in the fairway, and center strike right there.
[Dan] There does seem to be a little more energy out there today.
[commentator 2] Xander's in trouble here. He's got a tree right in front of him.
- [commentator] He went up. - [commentator 2] Caught that tree.
I never saw where it went. It's just only about 60 yards in front of him.
- [chanting] I-N-T! I-N-T! I-N-T! - [man] Whoo!
[commentator] This is a par attempt to win the hole for the internationals.
This for a three-up lead.
[commentator 3] Huge. That's huge. It's a long way back now from three down.
I know it's early in the game, but that's significant.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dan] Back up to five. Adam Scott with a birdie to win the hole.
Dropped in by the veteran!
[cheering]
[commentator] Wyndham Clark.
Another chip not on the green.
Look at that crowd.
[Dan] And Jason Day has a chance to win the hole with a birdie here.
Yes! And he walks it in.
Internationals are up in four out of the five matches right now.
What a beatdown.
Si Woo Kim for par
to win the match
and make it a 5-0 Friday.
[commentator] The sweep is on the books!
Incredible!
[cheering and whistling]
[Wilson] For the International Team to come back
and win all five matches on day two,
that's a big statement.
They came out and told Team USA, "We're not afraid of you."
- Good job! - [Camilo] Did you see me?
- Yes! Let's do it! - Fuck yes!
It stunk to watch from the USA side, but it was cool to see
the boys on the other team really play their hearts out
in front of their home crowd.
[Tom] It's a complete sweep.
- [Min Woo chuckles] - [Tom] Complete sweep.
Fucking noodle.
[Camilo] After a day like today, uh, we gotta be careful
because this is not a one-day competition.
[cheering]
[Camilo] And in this case, we gotta enjoy our accomplishments
and the things you do the right way
and when you perform the way we performed today.
Let's go! Come on!
[cheering]
[Camilo] And we gotta make sure the boys focus on the fact that we're back to zero.
And, uh, we'll be back tomorrow, trying to play our best golf.
[Jillian] I'm pretty nervous going into Sunday.
The singles is a whole nother animal.
Anything can happen in golf,
and especially anything can happen on Sunday.
Keegan's feeling pretty good, but he's quiet,
which I always know means he's a little nervous.
A win today would mean everything, truly, to this team.
I know these guys want it so much.
I know that Keegan wants it more than anything.
They haven't lost a Presidents Cup in how many years.
Um, you always wanna be on the winning side.
[indistinct chatter]
[suspenseful music playing]
USA!
Go, Canada, go!
[Dan] The unparalleled history
and atmosphere heading into the final 12 singles matches
of this 15th Presidents Cup.
[Rapaport] Unlike the Ryder Cup,
the Presidents Cup has four days of competition instead of three,
and after Saturday's team matches,
the Americans lead 11 to the internationals' seven.
It might seem like the Americans are running away with it,
but if there's anything these internationals have proven,
it's that they can make a comeback.
And there are 12 points up for grabs today.
[Dethier] Sunday is different at the Presidents Cup.
We're switching from team matches to singles matches.
You don't have a partner anymore. Every player plays,
and you've gotta earn your point.
[Tom] You don't have someone to cover your tracks of your mistakes.
You have to be out on your own,
and it's back to regular golf. It's what we're used to.
But we play three days of team golf, and you're like…
you feel like you've never done it before. It's gonna be very interesting.
I'm just gonna do a few, guys. I gotta warm up, all right?
[Camilo] Today is gonna be a very important day. We're down four.
Let's see if we can get a good start,
put numbers on the board, and, uh, see what we're made of.
[Dan] Captain Jim Furyk, not able to be a winning captain on the Ryder Cup side,
but he is the big favorite today with his team.
[Keegan] Jim came and told me I was in the sixth spot in the rotation.
I know this is gonna be
a very important slot that I've fallen into.
[Wilson] Everything Keegan Bradley's been through in the last couple years,
getting overlooked for the Ryder Cup team, being doubted, then playing well,
winning late in the season, getting picked for Presidents Cup,
all of that coming to this moment.
There's nowhere to hide. All the pressure is on you to deliver,
and you don't wanna be the one letting your team down in Sunday singles.
[Dan] The US just four and a half points away
from that magic number of 15 and a half points total.
The internationals need to win eight and a half points to win the cup.
[Keegan] Four points is about the number that you can definitely come back from.
You know anything can happen, and I… I don't trust any lead on Sunday.
[Dan] So here we go with the first match, and it is a good one.
Major champions Schauffele and Day.
[commentator 2] This one very high, over the corner of that bunker.
Good-looking tee shot here.
[commentator 3] Keegan Bradley at the second.
What a start for Keegan Bradley.
[Dan] Xander Schauffele's already in for birdie at this par 5, 12th.
Jason Day already five down playing his third.
Desperately trying to stay in this thing, and…
That'll do it.
[commentator] Back at the 10th, Keegan Bradley for birdie.
One down to Si Woo Kim.
- Keegan Bradley striking back at the 10th. - [Jillian] Whoo!
[commentator] So Si Woo to keep his one up lead…
- No. - [woman] Yes!
[commentator] And here is Xander Schauffele.
[Dan] I'm sure he wants to end this here with a gimme.
- [commentator] Up and down'll get it done. - [Dan] Yes, sir.
[man cheers]
[commentator] That'll do it. The hat's off.
First point of the Sunday goes to the Americans.
This is a Tom Kim moment right here, perhaps.
[crowd clamoring]
[Dan] Did he hit it?
Yes, he did! Tom Kim ties it up!
[cheering]
[commentator] Matsuyama will have a par putt to win the match.
[crowd chanting] I-N-T!
[commentator] And Matsuyama finishes it off.
Another good, entertaining match
between world number one and number seven.
[Dan] To 13.
[commentator] Theegala for birdie to win.
- Yeah! - [commentator] And Theegala…
[Dan] His juices are flowing right now.
What a great taste he's getting,
his first Presidents Cup.
[crowd chanting] I-N-T! I-N-T!
[commentator] The United States creeping closer to winning the Presidents Cup.
Just one point is all the Americans need.
And Keegan Bradley could provide the clinching point.
[woman] The water looks really good, Keegan.
[man] Quiet, folks!
Hey! Quiet!
[commentator 2] The crowd being really tough on Keegan at the moment.
[commentator] Looks pretty good. Yes.
[commentator 2] Oh, he nailed it. What a shot, Keegan.
[Dan] It'd be pretty incredible if Si Woo's able to win the last three holes
and scratch out a tie in this match.
[indistinct yelling]
[commentator 2] It's on a good line.
[Dan] Great shot.
Flew it all the way back to the hole.
[commentator] There is a glimmer of hope.
Keegan Bradley, though, he's really gotta go at this.
- [man] Go. - [Jim] Get up there.
- Go, ball. Go! - Go! Go!
[applause]
[man] Attaboy.
Great shot, pal.
[commentator] Keegan for birdie.
To win the Presidents Cup.
[crowd] Oh!
[applause]
[Dan] Well, it's all up to Si Woo Kim
to prevent Keegan from being the cup clincher.
[Keegan] On the green, I made sure not to look at Jillian.
Because of feeling the weight of what happened last year, to Medinah,
to Gleneagles,
to not making those other teams
and a decade of not playing.
I know the work I put in to get back here.
[slow rock music playing]
[crowd] Oh!
[commentator] And that will do it.

[Jim] There's a lot of excitement, exuberance,
a lot of energy coming from Keegan.
And I'll do everything I can to help him out
with kind of the transition from this year to next for the Ryder Cup.

[Jillian] Golf, this lifestyle,
the grind, the traveling all year,
it's those little moments that you're like, "Okay, that's a payoff."
F yeah, you know? [chuckles]
[cheering]
[Keegan] It's so hard to put into words.
If I could've wrote this out the last couple years
of how I wish it would happen,
it sort of did.
And you don't always get to have that moment of, "This was all worth it."
