Answer
Abraham Ancer
Answer
Abraham Ancer
Tiger Woods defeated Abraham Ancer in Sunday singles at the 2019 Presidents Cup.
Woods played the opening singles match for the United States against Mexico’s Ancer at Royal Melbourne Golf Club. He won 3 and 2, meaning he was three holes ahead with only two holes left to play. Woods made seven birdies over the first 16 holes and secured the point before the match reached the 17th hole.
The victory completed an unbeaten individual week for Woods, who went 3–0–0 while also serving as the U.S. team’s playing captain. His point helped spark the American comeback: the United States had trailed by two points entering singles but won the session 8–4 and captured the Cup 16–14.
This match is sometimes confused with other Sunday singles results, particularly because Adam Scott, Marc Leishman and Hideki Matsuyama also represented the International team. None of them faced Woods that day; Ancer was his opponent.
