Internationals Lead U.S. 10.5-7.5 At Presidents Cup

The final tally was brutal for the U.S. The Internationals came back in 2 foursomes matches, split the afternoon 2-2 and held their 3-point cushion. They've never had a lead going into singles at a Presidents Cup on U.S. soil before.

The International squad complete comebacks in TWO matches to split the afternoon session. They lead by 3 heading into Sunday Singles, the first time that has ever happened at a Presidents Cup on U.S. soil.

It's 10.5-7.5, so the Internationals need 5 points out of 12 to reach 15.5 and win the Cup. The U.S. needs 7.5 to keep it. Sunday's matchups have Scottie against Nico, Koivun against Si Woo Kim, Cantlay against Adam Scott, and Gotterup against Bezuidenhout.

“We need him to have like a performance where it's like, that's the Scottie we need in team events.” – Frankie Borrelli

There's no more waiting on that. The U.S. needs a Scheffler performance, a strong start from the rookies and a lot of red early on Sunday's board, or the Internationals will leave Chicago with a Cup they haven't won in 28 years.
