The Black Men Xcel Summit Golf Tournament is one of 34 amateur golf events that are part of the Genesis Invitational series in 2017, which means players were treated to Genesis-sponsored experiences, including a chance to win a brand-new Genesis G80 luxury sedan with a hole-in-one on the designated hole-in-one holes throughout the three-day tournament.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) President Donald Trump looked over at an American team that never had it so easy in the Presidents Cup and delivered an unassailable message in fewer than 140 characters.

”I have to say our Team USA: Wow, did you play well,” Trump said.

The Americans were never better.

They didn’t become the first team to win all five sessions, the only source of motivation on Sunday. They didn’t win by the widest margin since these matches against the International team began in 1994.

So powerful was this U.S. team that it needed to do little more than show up.

Daniel Berger, one of five newcomers to the American team, delivered the decisive point in the fourth of 12th singles matches. Phil Mickelson, a part of 23 consecutive team events, won the final point in his 100th career singles match.

The score was 19-11, and it could have been worse.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) Brooke Henderson won the weather-delayed New Zealand Women’s Open on Monday, finishing off a 3-under 69 for a five-stroke victory.

The 20-year-old Canadian led by four shots through six holes Sunday when the final round was suspended after a day of heavy rain, high wind and threatened lightning strikes. She returned Monday morning to the Windross Farm course and easily held off China’s Jing Yan for her second LPGA Tour victory of the season and fifth overall.

Henderson finished at 17-under 271. She also won the Meijer LPGA Classic in June in Michigan.

”I was feeling pretty comfortable out there and I was just trying to keep it at minus 17 as long as I could,” Henderson said after receiving the trophy, $195,000 winner’s check and a ceremonial feather cloak presented by indigenous Maori. ”I had a couple of bogeys but made a lot of birdies and it was probably some of the best golf I’ve played in a while.

”I’m super excited to win outside North America fo..

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Capsules from the singles matches Sunday at the Presidents Cup:

Marc Leishman, International, halved with Kevin Chappell, United States.

The Americans needed only one point to win the Presidents Cup, and Chappell started out as if he wanted it to be him. He holed a bunker shot for eagle on No. 2 and birdied the next two holes in building a 2-up lead. Leishman caught him when Chappell hit into the water on the par-5 ninth and hit his tee shot into a TV tower on No. 10. Leishman went 1 up twice on the back nine, and Chappell squared the match twice with pars. On the 18th, Chappell missed from 20 feet, and Leishman missed from 15 feet for a halve.

Jason Day, International, def. Charley Hoffman, United States, 2 and 1.

Day had gone nine straight matches without a win in the Presidents Cup and finally put some semblance of his game together. Hoffman stayed with him on the front nine, and took a 1-up lead at the turn with a birdie at the par-5 ninth. Day ho..

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. Or in this case, Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson show off their pipes.
On Sunday evening, Team USA had a predictably jovial press conference following its 19-11 thumping at the 2017 Presidents Cup. But no one could have seen this coming.

When the question of favorite song sung by the fans at Liberty National came up, it was Jordan Spieth who first burst into a rendition of “Si-Woo shakin' that ass,” a play on International Team member Si-Woo Kim and Groove Armada's 1999 track, “I see you baby (shakin' that ass).” And Spieth really got into it:

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, England (AP) Paul Dunne held off a thrilling challenge from Rory McIlroy in the final round of the British Masters on Sunday to claim his first European Tour title.

Dunne, who sprang to prominence after sharing the 54-hole lead in the 2015 British Open while still an amateur, shot seven birdies and an eagle in a closing 61 to finish 20 under par.

The 24-year-old Irishman sealed victory in style by chipping in on the 18th to finish three shots clear of McIlroy and secure a place in the world’s top 100 for the first time.

McIlroy’s 63 was the lowest score of an injury-plagued season which he will bring to an early, self-imposed end next week.

European Ryder Cup vice-captain Robert Karlsson, who began the day with a one-shot lead, finished third on 16 under, with Graeme Storm, David Lingmerth and Florian Fritsch all on 14 under.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) The Americans won the Presidents Cup for the seventh straight time, and this one was no contest.

With most of the work already done, a dominant U.S. team needed only one point from the 12 singles matches Sunday. Kevin Chappell halved the opening match with Marc Leishman, and victory was assured when Daniel Berger went 3 up with three to play against Si Woo Kim.

Berger wound up winning his match, and the celebration was on.

President Donald Trump arrived at Liberty National about 45 minutes before the Americans secured the gold trophy that he was to present to them. Trump, the honorary chairman of the matches, is the first sitting president to attend on the final day and present the trophy.

”This is a juggernaut of a U.S. team,” said Nick Price, in his third and final stint of the International captain, all of them losses. ”They’re an overpowering team that played some phenomenal golf. It was tough to watch, especially being on the receiving end.”
