Internationals' lead is first of its kind in Presidents Cup history

The International team made history at the Presidents Cup on Saturday, taking a lead into the final day of competition. According to Yahoo Sports, the U.S. team had opportunities to take control but failed to capitalize, ultimately falling behind 10.5-7.5.

The Internationals had trailed by four points at the start of the weekend but rallied in the fourball and foursomes sessions. In the fourball session, the U.S. led all four matches at one point before the Internationals staged a comeback, resulting in a 2.5-1.5 session defeat for the U.S. The foursomes session ended in a 2-2 tie, with the U.S. initially leading all four matches.

This is the first time the Internationals have led entering the final day on U.S. soil, and they are now just five points away from their first Presidents Cup victory since 1998.
