The U.S. duo performed strongly in the early stages, with Streelman co-leading the individual field after an opening 5-under-par 66, highlighted by birdies on five of the first six back-nine holes, before closing with two bogeys. Kuchar's steady play complemented Streelman's hot start, positioning the Americans atop the team leaderboard after the first round. Over the full event, the U.S. team tallied a 7-under-par total of 561, securing second place, 10 strokes behind winners Australia (Jason Day and Adam Scott at 17-under 551) in a field that included strong contenders like and , who tied for third at 5-under. Streelman's individual finish was 11th at 1-under 283, while the silver-medal team result underscored the effective partnership despite the weekend fade. The experience provided Streelman with valuable exposure in a high-stakes international setting, boosting his confidence amid a career-best year and allowing him to praise the collaborative dynamic with Kuchar during . Streelman did not return for subsequent World Cups (held in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019), as his fluctuating ranking—peaking at No. 36 in 2014 but dropping outside the top 100 by 2016—prevented further qualification under the OWGR-based selection criteria. The event's format shifted back to traditional fourball and matches after 2013, but Streelman's lone outing remains a highlight of his representative career.
