The Americans withstood a late surge by the International squad to win the 2013 Presidents Cup 18.5-15.5. That fact will not be on my list of biggest surprises.

Considering the talent level at this event, little was expected from de Jonge. However, he definitely held his own. He teamed up with Ernie Els to split his four partner matches. 

In singles play, he fell to Jason Dufner ...
