Internationals Finish Strong to Lead Presidents Cup. Now They Have to Find a Way to Close It Out
The International team rallied in four-ball and foursomes, with 10.5 points built on two comebacks and key birdies, officials said.
- 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.
