  "account": "The Internationals seized a commanding 7-3 lead over the United States in the Presidents Cup after sweeping the foursomes competition on Friday. Following a 3-2 deficit after Thursday's opening four-ball matches, the Internationals claimed all five foursomes matches to establish a four-point advantage heading into the weekend at Medinah Country Club. A standout victory came from Canadian pair Corey Conners and Nick Taylor, who edged world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns by a single stroke. Conners birdied the 12th hole with a precise second shot, and Taylor secured the win on the 18th with a remarkable approach shot just two feet from the cup. This success came after Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and South Korea's Im Sung-jae took the first point of the day with a 3&2 victory over Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman. New Zealand's Ryan Fox and Australia's Min Woo Lee also contributed to the sweep with a tense 1-up win against Collin Morikawa and Windham Clark. The Internationals' five-straight foursomes wins marked only the third such occurrence since the tournament's inception in 1994, as they aim to secure their first-ever biennial team title.",
  "summary": "The Internationals completed a sensational foursomes clean sweep Friday to surge into a commanding 7-3 lead over the United States at the Presidents Cup.The win was only the third time the Internationals have swept a session since the Presidents Cup was first held in 1994.",
