International Sweep Puts Team USA in a 7-3 Hole at the Presidents Cup
Heading into Sunday's final round at Medinah Country Club, the International team holds a 10.5-7.5 lead over the United States, positioning them to potentially win the Presidents Cup for the first time in 28 years.
The Internationals successfully maintained their three-point advantage on Saturday by fighting back from trailing positions in both morning four-ball and afternoon foursomes sessions despite intense American pressure.
Providing a spark for the Americans, Cameron Young and Chris Gotterup delivered an unstoppable performance by winning both their matches Saturday, establishing themselves as a formidable U.S. partnership heading into singles.
U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker faced scrutiny after benching top-ranked Scottie Scheffler for the afternoon, though Snedeker told broadcasters he remained proud of the team's ability to "hang in there, despite all my mistakes."
Sunday features 12 singles matches to determine the champion, with the Internationals needing five points to secure the trophy; International captain Geoff Ogilvy cautioned that "all sorts of different things can happen" in team events.
