Presidents Cup capsules of foursomes matches at Medinah
The Internationals won all five foursomes matches, with Adam Scott setting a Presidents Cup record in his 56th match, officials said.
On Friday, the International team swept the foursomes matches at Medinah Country Club, establishing a 7-3 lead over the United States at the Presidents Cup.
Under captain Geoff Ogilvy, the Internationals surged in Illinois, seeking their first Cup victory since 1998 during a dominant session that left the Americans reeling.
Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor defeated world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns, while veteran Adam Scott and South African golfer Christiaan Bezuidenhout beat Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.
Additional victories by Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim over Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, alongside Reigning Open champion Ryan Fox and Australian golfer Min Woo Lee's win over Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark, completed the sweep.
Facing a 70 percent points deficit, the United States must collect 12.5 points from the remaining eight Saturday team matches and Sunday's 12 singles encounters to mount a comeback.
