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.
Seeking their first Cup victory since 1998, the Internationals surged in Illinois under captain Geoff Ogilvy, capitalizing on a dream session that left the U.S. side 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.
South Korean golfers Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim defeated Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, while Reigning Open champion Ryan Fox and Australian golfer Min Woo Lee beat Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark.
With 70 percent of points remaining, the United States must collect 12.5 points from eight Saturday team matches and 12 Sunday singles encounters to mount a comeback.
