  "account": "Through three days of the Presidents Cup outside Chicago, the International team maintained their lead over the United States by a margin of 10½ to 7½. On the final day, Chris Gotterup and Cameron Young helped the United States secure two match victories against New Zealand's Ryan Fox and Australia's Min Woo Lee by a combined score of 3-2, and Canada's Corey Conners and Nick Taylor by a 1-up score against Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman. Lee/Im had a tight match, but ultimately fell short as Thomas and Koivun struggled to recover from rough shots. The United States narrowed the gap in morning four-ball matches, with a 2½ to 1½ lead after the International team's sweep of five foursomes matches on Friday. Gotterup/Young edged Conners/Taylor by 2-1, while Scottie Scheffler and Burns claimed a similar margin over Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Hisatsune. The International team ultimately won with Kim/Kim defeating Collin Morikawa and Clark by 2-1. Each team earned a half-point on a draw, but the United States failed to capitalize on their 2-up lead on hole 16, where Lee/Im held their lead despite both Thomas and Koivun hitting into the rough and failing to recover.",
