International Team's brilliant week, falls just short to USA Sunday singles...Final results..

 2026 Presidents Cup, Medinah GC, September 25th -27th  

Despite the heavy bias by the American media, expectations of the American public, Geoff Ogilvy and his International Team led 10.5 to 7.5 heading into the Sunday singles needing just 4.5 points to tie, or 5 points to win.

The final score of 17 -13 USA in no way reflects how tense the atmosphere was at Medinah CC as match after match was close, the final outcome in doubt. 

Nico Echavarria, dismissed as "a decent player over in Europe" rallied to win 2 of his last 5 holes against Scheffler before shaking hands on the 17th green, down 2up.

Five matches went to the 18th green in American favour.

In the end Tom Kim, Sungjae Im won their matches while Nick Taylor tied with Russell Henley not enough to win the match.

Captain Ogilvy " We came here with high hopes, a really good team, a great enviroment. You couldn't ask for more than have a 3 point lead on the road, in US, that's a hard thing to do. To be polite, we did all the hard work in the first 3 days.

I wouldn't do anything differently, I felt like our plan was pretty solid. The pairings all week were great weren't they.

In the end you have to make the shots and have the putts fall for you. As it turned out the American did that just a little better today"

A true gentleman, Geoff wouldn't add " having been outplayed all week, Sunday certainly saved their blushes"

The Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup and Walker Cup had already gone against the USA, and until late on Sunday this Presidents Cup was as well..

*****The next Presidents Cup returns to Australia in 2028 at Kingston Heath in the Melbourne sandbelt.

French Open : Matt Fitzpatrick wins the French Open .Final Results

    DP World Tour : FedEx French Open   Leaderboard

615am est >>>After a 20 minute delay due to early morning fog, play is well underway in the final round of this version of the French Open with Matt Fitzpatrick at -19 the man to beat, five shots clear.

" I realize that with the lead I have, if I continue to play well I will be tough to beat, so Ill get a good nights sleep and see what tomorrow brings"

However with another day of ideal weather, Le National continues to provide little resistance, low scores are already on the board.

EDIT >>>> 1200hrs est

Matt Fitzpatrick survived a slow start to his final round to seal an ultimately comfortable three-stroke victory at the 2026 FedEx Open de France.

The Englishman waited until the 13th hole for his first birdie of the day, by which time Eugenio Chacarra had cut his overnight five-shot lead to two, but his scrambling skills ensured he closed out the win with a round of 70 -20

Fitzpatrick said: "Obviously delighted to get it over the line, it was definitely a battle today. Didn't have my best stuff for the first 12 holes, there's a lot of patience but coming down the stretch today, to hit the shots that I did and make the putts I did was special."

Spain's Angel Hidalgo finished runner-up on -17 under and claimed the place in The 155th Open at St Andrews on offer to the highest finished not already exempt.

The win capped a special few weeks for Fitzpatrick who, with his wife Katherine, recently welcomed their first child Jack.

"Yeah, absolutely," the champion continued. "I can't wait to get home and see them."

Pavon and Vaillant shared the honours as top home player, with Chacarra and Reitan alongside them in 3rd on -15. Pavon's 64 matched Dan Bradbury for the low round of the final day.

Kim, Migliozzi and Stone finished a shot further back -14 with Jeff Winther alone in tenth on -13.

    DP World Tour : FedEx French Open  Tee Times Leaderboard

Play on "moving day" in Paris is underway after a foggy start, the skies have cleared with lots of sunshine as Matt Fitzpatrick who made five birdies and an eagle on Friday afternoon before preserving his flawless card with an excellent up-and-down from the back-left of the 18th green  begins the day a shot ahead of the pack at -13

The round was overnight suspended at 19.55pm local time due to darkness, with play set to restart at 8.45am. Saturday will be a two tee start in three balls and will not start before 10am.

The cut fell at -3 for 66 players.

EDIT >>>> 1130am est

Matt Fitzpatrick was on a run of form early in this 2026 season where nobody in the world could match him. 

In March he was 2nd at the Players, 1st at the Valspar, then in April after T18 at the Masters, he won the RBC Heritage and with his brother Alex won the Zurich Classic.

His prize money in total was $9,650,000.

He's back in that form this week is sunny Paris in ideal  conditions 65 64 65 -19 with a  shot lead over French fan favourite Tom Vaillant 67 65 67 -14, they will make up the final pairing on Sunday.

Matt Fitzpatrick took a stranglehold on the 2026 FedEx Open de France as a brilliant third round of 65 carried him to -19

Seven birdies more than offset the Englishman's first bogey of the week as he led by five strokes from Tom Vaillant, who enjoyed loud support from the home crowd at Le Golf National.

Fitzpatrick said: "I feel like I'm in a position that if I go and shoot a good round tomorrow, then obviously it makes it almost impossible to catch. But long way to go, and just take it hole by hole."

Vaillant shot 67 to nudge ahead of a large group at -13 , including Eugenio Chacarra, whose 62 was the lowest round of the week, and Brandon Stone who shot 63.

Fitzpatrick said: "Just another really, really solid day. I felt really comfortable out there.

"I think to birdie the first, it's always nice to kind of get off to a nice start like that. And then two-under through three, and you can kind of kick on from there. And I felt like that my game was pretty solid all day.

"I was disappointed to drop my one shot, to be honest. It will kind of stick with me."

Stone and Chacarra were alongside Reitan, Hidalgo and Winther at -13 under. A shot further back were at -12 were Kim, German veteran Marcel Siem, Italian pair Migliozzi and Gregorio De Leo and Englishmen Sam Bairstow and Joe Dean.

Fitzpatrick's compatriot and Ryder Cup team-mate Tommy Fleetwood, the 2017 champion, was -6 after Friday's round but was forced to withdraw before Saturday's tee time due to illness.

Matt Fitzpatrick carded a brilliant bogey-free 64 during the fog-affected second round at Le Golf National to take a one-stroke lead over Jeff Winther at the halfway stage of the 2026 FedEx Open de France.

The World Number Four made five birdies and an eagle on Friday afternoon before preserving his flawless card with an excellent up-and-down from the back-left of the 18th green.

"I played really solid again," said Fitzpatrick, who is making his first appearance at the event since 2018.

"Felt comfortable with my game. Just the last few holes were a bit of a grind. But, yeah, happy to be in the clubhouse."

The start of the second round was delayed by fog on Friday morning but, once play got under way, Winther quickly became the man to catch.

With first round leader Michael Kim among the later starters, the Dane fired a bogey-free 64 of his own to reach -12  and set the early target.

Fitzpatrick, playing in the afternoon, made four birdies on the front nine to move quickly into contention. After four straight pars from the turn, he then joined Winther at the summit with an eagle at the par-five 14th before holing a 27-footer at the 16th to take the outright lead.

He parred the 17th but slipped while playing his approach to the last, sending the ball long and left of the water-surrounded green and leaving himself a difficult up-and-down.

Fitzpatrick responded by playing his next shot to four feet before converting the par putt to sign for a flawless 64 and a 36-hole total of -13 

Defending champion Michael Kim, who claimed his maiden DP World Tour crown at this event 12 months ago at Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche as Le Golf National underwent extensive renovations, sits a shot further back.

The American had a mix of fortunes on Friday but still sits just two behind on -11 mixing six birdies with three bogeys to add a 66 to his opening 63.

"Yeah, it wasn't perfect golf like yesterday, but I felt like I made a good fight out of it," he said.

"And overall I'm happy with where I'm at. I didn't get off to the best start. Swing didn't feel as good as yesterday. But I'm really happy. I feel like I figured some things out during the middle of the round today. And just a little unfortunate bogey coming in. But I think I have a good chance to win this tournament for the weekend."

SUMMARY

Fellow American Ryan Gerard and Frenchman Tom Vaillant currently share fourth on -10, with Angel Hidalgo, Marcel Siem, Thriston Lawrence and Gregorio De Leo in a share of sixth place at -9.

SATURDAY

The round was overnight suspended at 19.55pm local time due to darkness, with play set to restart at 8.45am. Round three will be a two tee start in three balls and will not start before 10am.

The cut is currently projected to be -3, with 66 players sitting at -3.
