Americans made a small dent in Internationals lead at the Presidents Cup
Medinah, Illinois (AP) — In a close Presidents Cup match on Saturday, American golfers managed to reduce the International lead to 8.5-5.5 in the early rounds. Despite the Internationals leading the scoring sessions 7-3 since 1998, the Americans secured a win in their last fourballs match with contributions from Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns.
The Internationals had a 1-up lead over Scheffler and Burns with four holes to spare but lost the match after Scheffler birdied the 15th and Burns followed up with a birdie on the 17th. The Americans' victory came after a series of narrow losses in the morning's fourballs matches, where they led in all four but saw the lead switch multiple times.
