The United States men's team knew they needed a strong push on the final day to win the 2024 Concessions Cup at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Ga.

In the singles matches, they did exactly that.

The United States won the singles matches 10 to 2, turning a two-point deficit into a six-point win, and defeated the European team 15 to 9.

Alexis Leray and Hugh Foley earned the only two points for the European team. Foley finished the week 3-0 after winning on the first two days with his partner Matthew McClean. Foley is ranked No. 6 in the AmateurGolf.com Mid-Amateur Rankings, and McClean is ranked No. 1.

The European team led the United States 7 to 5, entering the final day after winning both of the first two days, 3.5 to 2.5.

On the women's side, the United States completed a dominant victory in the first edition, winning 14.5 to 9.5. The European team won the singles matches 7.5 to 4.5, but the United States led 10 to 2, entering the final day.

Lauren Greenlief and Jackie Rogowicz led the team, going 3-0, and Ellen Port went 2-0-1.
