Tiger Woods lost for the first time in a Presidents Cup singles match,
falling to Retief Goosen on the 17th hole. Goosen also went unbeaten for the
week at 4-0-1. But the Americans got loads of help, from Jim Furyk (3-0-2)
beating Adam Scott, and Kenny Perry and David Toms getting their first points of
the week.
It was another tough loss for the Internationals, who battled the Americans
to a tie in team matches the first three days and fought back from early
deficits throughout the 12 singles matches.
The scoreboard was filled with American red for most of the day, and at one
point the Internationals were not leading in any of the matches. Goosen holed
two long putts and pulled ahead with a birdie on the 16th to finish the week as
the only unbeaten International player.
"All day long I was like, 'Let's hope it doesn't come down to our match,'"
DiMarco said. "And sure enough, it came down to our match."
Wrapped in the arms of his teammates and Nicklaus, he wouldn't have had it
any other way.
