Jhonattan Vegas defeated Jordan Spieth at the Presidents Cup.

 

- What do you think when you see the Statue of Liberty?

 

"Yes, freedom, my country, my country, as simple as that. Especially because of our situation, where there's limited freedom, limited freedom of speech, where people can't have an everyday life as they wish. That symbol is really bug, and I hope that some day we can have that freedom and have that confidence to grow as a country."
