INCHEON, South Korea — Chris Kirk and Bubba Watson helped the United States retain the Presidents Cup for the sixth straight time, 15.5-14.5.

Kirk gave the U.S. a huge win on the final day as he knocked off Anirban Lahiri. Kirk never trailed, but Lahiri rolled in a birdie on the 14th to square the match and they halved the next three holes with pars. And on the par-5 18th, they matched tee shots and second shots short of the green. Lahiri hit a great pitch to four feet and Kirk's landed 15 feet away. Kirk made his birdie putt, and Lahiri's putt caught the right lip and spun out.

"I have to give credit to Chris for making that putt," Lahiri said. "These things are scripted, I guess. And I wasn't in the script."

That was Kirk's only point of the week for the United States, but it probably made the difference in the U.S. victory.

Watson rolled up three points as he won four-ball and a foursome matches with J.B. Holmes and he halved his singles match and a foursome match.
