The United States did it again — but this Presidents Cup was far more competitive than the final score suggests.

PGA of America member John Gerber breaks down the United States’ 17-13 victory in the 2026 Presidents Cup and the massive Sunday turnaround that flipped the entire event. The International Team entered singles ahead 10.5-7.5, only for the Americans to produce a dominant final-day comeback. Gerber argues that the score doesn’t tell the full story and that the International Team may finally be closing the gap.

On this Monday recap edition of From the Rough:
⛳ USA’S SUNDAY SURGE — How the Americans flipped the Presidents Cup in singles.
🌎 DON’T DISMISS THE INTERNATIONAL TEAM — Why Gerber believes this event showed real progress despite another loss.
🇺🇸 WHO STOOD OUT FOR THE U.S.? — Cameron Young, Chris Gotterup and Scottie Scheffler each finished with three points, while Jackson Koivun and Justin Thomas added 2.5.
🔥 CHRIS GOTTERUP IS BUILT FOR THIS — Gerber says Gotterup looks like a future fixture in international team competition after another big showing.
⭐ JACKSON KOIVUN ARRIVES — Gerber admits he underestimated Koivun, who delivered 2.5 points and earned praise inside the U.S. team room.
🌏 TOM KIM LEADS THE INTERNATIONALS — Kim produced four points, while Si Woo Kim added three as the duo supplied more than half of the International Team’s total.
📊 PLAYER GRADES — Gerber grades both teams, explains why point totals can be misleading and identifies the players who exceeded — or fell short of — expectations.
🏆 WHAT’S NEXT? — Could Geoff Ogilvy return as International captain? Could Brandt Snedeker remain part of the U.S. leadership structure? Gerber looks ahead to the future of the Presidents Cup.

Plus, John recaps the week’s betting results — 9-7-2 overall, including a 4-0 Friday — and previews what’s coming next on From the Rough. Pasted text
