International Sweep Puts Team USA in a 7-3 Hole at the Presidents Cup
The Internationals won all five alternate-shot matches and now need 15.5 points to claim the Cup, officials said.
- On Friday, September 25, the International team swept all five foursomes matches at Medinah Country Club, seizing a stunning 7-3 lead over the United States heading into the weekend.
- After trailing 3-2 following Thursday's opening four-ball matches, the Internationals responded with a rare session sweep that mirrored their 2024 performance at Royal Montreal.
- Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor defeated Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns 1-up, with Taylor's 151-yard approach shot to one foot on the 18th hole sealing the victory; South Koreans Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim also contributed to the sweep.
- U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker downplayed the four-point deficit, saying there are "20 points out there" and the situation is "not even halftime of a football game." The Americans face their largest home-soil gap since 2005.
- Competition moves to Sunday's 12 singles matches, where the International team seeks their first outright victory since 1998 against a United States squad holding a 13-1-1 all-time record in the event.
