The International team took a commanding 7-3 lead over the United States in the Presidents Cup after a strong showing in the foursomes matches on day two at Medinah Country Club. The U.S. had led 3-2 after the fourballs on Thursday, but they lost all five of their matches in the alternate-shot format on Friday. This result significantly boosted the International team's chances of securing their first victory in the event since 1998 and only their second overall since the competition began in 1994. Geoff Ogilvy's International squad got their day started with a win as Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama defeated Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman 3&2. The Canadian pair of Corey Conners and Nick Taylor then held on to beat world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns by one hole. Burns nearly secured a half when his 20-foot putt at the last hole "lipped out," meaning it almost went in but missed. Open champion Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee also narrowly edged a contest with Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark by one hole. Adam Scott and Christiaan Bezuidenhout followed up with a 3&2 victory over Justin Thomas and Cameron Young. The day concluded with a 4&3 win by Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim over Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, sealing the International team's strong performance. The competition will continue with four more foursomes matches and four additional fourballs on Saturday. On Sunday, 12 singles games will take place, where each player will compete individually against an opponent, adding a final layer of excitement to the Presidents Cup.
