(Reuters) - Clint Dempsey's strength in the air helped him to two goals as the reigning champion United States opened their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign with a 2-1 victory over Honduras on Tuesday.

Two days after the women's team celebrated a third World Cup win, Dempsey scored a header in each half and the U.S. held off a late rally at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, to keep the American party going.
