Presidents Cup capsule summaries of matches

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) — Capsules of Presidents Cup matches Saturday at Medinah:

UNITED STATES 2 1/2, INTERNATIONAL 1 1/2

Koivun came into his own in his second match of his Presidents Cup debut, making a 25-foot birdie putt on No. 8 and hitting his approach to 2 feet for a birdie on No. 11, giving the Americans a 2-up lead in match they controlled from the start. But Lee made a 15-foot birdie on the 15th, and both Americans barely cleared the water on the par-3 16th and made bogeys for the match to fall to all square. On the final hole, Thomas and Koivun were both short of the green, and Im had 45 feet for birdie. Thomas hit a superb chip to a foot, and Im hit a great lag for the first halve of the Presidents Cup.

Morikawa holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 seventh for a 2-up lead in another match that was painted red for the entire front nine. And then Team Kim came to life. Si Woo Kim birdied from 10 feet on the 11th. Tom Kim matched the U.S. birdie on the 12th and placed a finger to his lips to shush the crowd before the ball even dropped. The Internationals took their first lead when Si Woo Kim made a 12-foot birdie putt on the 16th, and Si Woo Kim made a 17-foot birdie putt on the 17th, winning the match when Morikawa missed from 7 feet.

The Americans looked as if they would end this early when Young birdied the second and drove the par-4 fourth green and made a 30-foot eagle putt. The Canadians won two of three holes around the turn to close the gap to two holes, and then Gotterup took over in a big way. He holed a 50-foot birdie putt on the 14th, only for Taylor to make a 50-footer of his own. Gotterup made a 35-foot birdie on the 15th for a 3-up lead. Taylor answered with a 30-foot birdie on the 16th. Gotterup closed out the match with a 35-foot birdie putt from just off the 17th green.

The Americans never trailed but were never more than 1 up through the front nine when suddenly it changed. Matsuyama made a 35-foot birdie on the 10th and a 10-foot birdie on the par-3 13th, giving the Internationals a 1-up lead right as their side was flipping other matches. Scheffler had not contributed much until making a 20-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole to square the match. Burns followed with a 7-iron to 4 feet for birdie to win the 16th and go 1 up, and Burns closed out the match with an approach to 4 feet for birdie on the 17th.

BOSTON (AP) — A slow-moving, powerful storm crept along the coast of the U.S. Northeast on Saturday, producing high winds that knocked out electricity to thousands while whipping up big waves and heavy rains that created dangerous conditions in some places.

Tens of millions of people were in the path of the nor'easter, which was forecast to affect the mid-Atlantic area and New England throughout the weekend. Around 100,000 customers in the region were without electricity Saturday.

The forecast showed no immediate reprieve. There will be "a lot of high winds, a lot of high tides and heavy rain possibility over the next few days for the northeastern U.S.,” said Bob Oravec, lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland.

In Long Island, New York, some people kayaked down flooded streets.

In the coastal New Jersey borough of Surf City, Kenny Formica sat at his home watching surveillance cameras showing water rising inside the marina he owns. Water getting inside the building is rare, Formica said. The last time he remembers it happening was during Hurricane Sandy, which he said caused more than $4 million in damage to his business.

Ahead of the storm, Formica said workers secured dock lines, moved loose items and equipment out of harm’s way and parked the marina’s trucks and forklifts at the highest point of the property. By Saturday morning, even those were nearly surrounded by water.

Formica said he woke Saturday to messages from customers reporting missing boats and Jet Skis. One customer sent him a video around 4 a.m. showing his 25-foot (7.6-meter) boat after it had blown off its lift.

“This is like an 8,000-pound boat and, you know, a $150,000 boat — just gone,” Formica said.

In Ocean City, Maryland, heavy surf caused beach erosion, washed out fencing by the dunes and was leading to flooding.

“In all the canals, the water is up really high and coming into people’s backyards,” Jay Boyd said by telephone.

The storm forced a change of plans for many people. Hundreds of flights were canceled at Boston Logan International Airport, as were the vast majority of flights at the popular Massachusetts tourist destinations of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

The Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs — both gearing up for the playoffs during the final weekend of the regular Major League Baseball season — had to shuffle the schedule for their three-game series. They played a double-header Friday in Boston to try to avoid the storm. Then MLB rescheduled their finale on Sunday to occur in Florida, at the home of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Ed Sheeran canceled his high-profile concerts Friday and Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Farther south, a highway closure on North Carolina’s Hatteras Island scrambled Jayden Sink and Kimberly Laprad’s Saturday wedding plans. The Virginia couple had made it onto the island before the storm, but most of their roughly 45 guests were stranded on the other side of the closure, the Island Free Press reported. A local campground offered a new venue, cabins and an officiant, and a DJ volunteered to provide music. Organizers invited anyone on the island to come celebrate with the couple Saturday afternoon.

Nor’easters are not unusual as New England moves into fall, but “this might be a little earlier than average for a big storm,” said Oravec, of the National Weather Service.

The storm’s slow movement could worsen beach erosion by subjecting the coast to a prolonged period of strong winds and waves, he said.

State officials along the East Coast urged people to use caution. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said coastal flooding is the biggest threat, but the storm will also bring heavy rains, powerful winds and waves as high as 20 feet (six meters).

“The rain is underway and while it’s only half an inch or so thus far, mark my words: Much more is coming,” the governor said early Saturday.

In Long Island, ferry owner Stephanie Sherman said she had paused operations between Patchogue and the barrier island of Fire Island.

“It’s been a pretty wild storm,” Sherman said. “But nothing that we haven’t experienced in the past. These happen every so often.”

Lieb reported from Jefferson City, Missouri. Associated Press writers Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama, and Annika Hammerschlag in Seattle contributed.
