U.S. trails Presidents Cup after Internationals' shocking sweep

The Internationals have taken a 7-3 lead into the weekend at the Presidents Cup, following a 5-0 sweep of the foursomes session on Friday. According to Yahoo Sports, this four-point lead matches the Internationals' largest ever at this stage of the tournament. The Internationals also swept the first foursomes session two years ago at Royal Montreal.

The session sweep was a surprise, with the US team, who were wearing white polos, being "white-washed" by the Internationals. One of the matches saw Corey Conners and Nick Taylor of the Internationals defeat Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns of the US, 1 up. Golf.com reports that the Internationals stunned the Americans with the sweep, and now have a rare lead.

The Internationals' previous best performance when leading by four points into the final day was in 1998 at Royal Melbourne, when they went on to win the tournament by nine points.
