  "account": "In a hard-fought battle on day three of the Presidents Cup at Medinah, the International team managed to hold off a resilient United States comeback. The Internationals found themselves behind in each match at various points during the tournament. However, they managed to secure a 10-5-7.5 lead heading into Sunday's singles matches. The hosts dominated the morning foursomes, winning two and tying one of the four-ball contests. In the afternoon, the Internationals split the foursomes, with Canada's Corey Conners saving par at the 18th hole to clinch the final match and maintain their three-point advantage. This victory came after the International team had not won the Presidents Cup since its inception in 1994, and certainly not on American soil. Team captain Geoff Ogilvy highlighted the significance of the Internationals' performance, stating that despite being down in every match, they managed to secure a modest victory. He also acknowledged the United States' strong play throughout the day, particularly in the challenging foursomes. On Sunday, both teams will face off in 12 singles matches, with each side requiring 15.5 points to claim victory.",
