The Presidents Cup came down to the last match, and it was hard to tell if there was more pressure on Bill Haas or U.S. team captain Jay Haas.

The elder Haas inserted his son in the final position of Sunday's 12 singles matches against the International team, and neither the father nor the son had any idea that Bill's match against South Korean Sangmoon Bae would decide the Presidents Cup.

However, that's just how it played out, as the U.S. and the Internationals traded victories throughout the day at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea.

Bae conceded the final hole at that point, giving Haas the 2-up victory.
