The United States snatched an 11th consecutive Presidents Cup victory after a remarkable final-day fightback saw claim a stunning 17-13 win over the Internationals.
Brandt Snedeker's trailed by three points heading into the Sunday singles at Medinah, leaving Team USA requiring eight points from the final 12 matches to avoid a first defeat since 1998, but responded in spectacular fashion.
Cameron Young, Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler all delivered points early for Team USA, only for Tom Kim and Sungjae Im to register key wins to move the Internationals within three points of a first away win in the biennial contest.

Wins for Chris Gotterup, Patrick Cantlay and Collin Morikawa pushed the United States ahead, while Jackson Koivun's point - as Xander Schauffele already had a dormie half guaranteed against Ryan Fox - ended the Internationals' hopes of victory.
Jacob Bridgeman earned the point to guarantee Team USA would lift the trophy again, coming back from one down with three to play to defeat Min Woo Lee on the final hole, completing the biggest final-day comeback in Presidents Cup history and sparking wild celebrations.
Xander Schauffele beat Open champion Ryan Fox 2&1 to extend the winning margin, while Russell Henley's tied match with Nick Taylor left Team USA with a record 9.5 points from the singles session.
Team USA continue their record of winning every edition of the Presidents Cup since 2005, while a disappointing final day from Geoff Ogilvy's International Team extends their wait for an elusive second victory and first on American soil.
How Team USA snatched Presidents Cup thriller
Young delivered in the top match for Team USA, just as he did when sent out first at the Ryder Cup last September, as he recovered from falling two behind early against rookie Ryo Hisatsune to win three consecutive holes after the turn and take control.
The Players champion rolled in from 30 feet at the par-three 16th to close a 3&2 win and earn their first point, with Thomas following soon after winning five of the first six holes in his 5&3 victory over Corey Conners.
Kim fell behind early against Wyndham Clark but made three birdies in a four-hole stretch around the turn, with the Korean beating the US Open champion 3&2 to secure his fourth point of the week and offer hope to the Internationals.
Im also beat Sam Burns to leave Geoff Ogilvy's side closer to victory, but Scheffler quickly closed the advantage as the leaderboard turned increasingly red.
Scheffler never trailed against Nico Echavarria and raced into a four-hole advantage, only to be left angered by a spectator yelling in his opponent's backswing at the par-four 14th.
The world No 1 generously conceded a 32-foot par for Echavarria, who chipped in from off the 16th green to extend the match until Scheffler completed victory to finish as the United States' joint-top scorer.
Gotterup edged a final-hole win over Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Cantlay holed an incredible 57-foot birdie at the 16th to help close out a 2&1 win over Adam Scott, levelling the contest with five matches on the course.
Morikawa capitalised on a final-hole bogey from Hideki Matsuyama to grab a 1up win, as Koivun - the only unbeaten American player this week - came back from two down to birdie three of his last seven holes and earn a 2up victory over Si Woo Kim.
Schauffele looked destined to secure the winning point but lost back-to-back holes late in his 2&1 win over Ryan Fox, allowing Bridgeman - on debut - to push Team USA to their winning target with his victory over Lee.
