P, Q, R, and S ran for a contest. A, B, C made the following statements regarding results.

1. A said either P or S will definitely win.
2. B said he is confident that P will not win.
3. C said he is confident that neither S nor R will win.
When the result came, it was found that only one of the above three people had made a correct statement.

Who has made the correct statement and who has won the contest?

If P or S won, then A is correct, and B and C were lying about how confident they were.

If Q or R won, then A was wrong, and of B and C, one was telling the truth and the other was lying.

A statement of confidence can be true or false regardless of the actual result of the contest.
