The United States' bid to win an 11th consecutive Presidents Cup was dealt a huge blow after the International team came roaring back on day two.
Brandt Snedeker's red, white and blue held a narrow 3-2 lead after day one but trail by four points after Geoff Ogilvy's side won all five foursomes matches on Friday at Medinah Country Club.
They were led by an inspired performance from Canadian duo Nick Taylor and Corey Conners in the opening match, who took down world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns on the final hole.
Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama then completed a comfortable 3&2 victory over Jacob Bridgeman and Russell Henley.
Elsewhere, reigning Open champion Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee were involved in a tense match against Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark that went down to the wire.
But the champion golfer of the year held his nerve on the 18th by holing a nervy five-footer to complete a 1up win.
Justin Thomas and Cameron Young were unable to make a single birdie and were comfortably defeated by Adam Scott and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
South Koreans Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim then put the cherry on the cake with an incredible 4&3 win over Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.
It means Ogilvy's side lead the 16th edition of the Presidents Cup 7-3.

A sensational victory.
Morikawa/Clark 1dn vs Fox/Lee (18*)
Collin Morikawa hits his approach into the back bunker at the 18th.
Fox wastes no time and is aggressive with his approach.
He's safely aboard, about 30 feet away.
Clark needs to conjure something special now.
Cantlay/Schauffele 3dn vs T. Kim/S.W Kim (14)
Patrick Cantlay puts Xander Schauffele in the bunker at the par-4 14th.
Schauffele, somehow, leaves the ball in the sand.
That is a shocking mistake and it leads to a concession.
Morikawa/Clark 1dn vs Fox/Lee (18*)
Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee have secured half a point.
But they want more.
They head to the 18th with a precious lead after Collin Morikawa missed a golden opportunity to tie the match at the 17th from five feet.
Lee finds the first cut of rough with his tee shot.
Clark goes on a similar line and also trickles into the rough.
Cantlay/Schauffele 2dn vs T.Kim/S.W. Kim (13)
Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim are edging closer to victory in their match.
They took the lead at the 5th and haven't relinquished it.
What a finish.
Sam Burns' birdie putt lips out!
That's a stunning victory for Nick Taylor and Corey Conners.
A 1up victory means the International team lead the 2026 Presidents Cup 4-3 overall and are looking like they could sweep the entire session.
Scheffler/Burns 1dn vs Conners/Taylor (18*)
Corey Conners is forced to pitch out to a comfortable yardage for Taylor after his teammate hit an horrific tee shot.
Taylor redeems himself with an unreal approach from 146 yards. That's a gimme four.
Scheffler is safely aboard the green and Burns will have a putt from around 20 feet to share a point.
Clark/Morikawa 1dn vs Fox/Lee (16)
Wow. Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee have turned this match around.
Another putt drops for Fox at the par-3 16th.
Morikawa cannot match him.
Scheffler/Burns 1dn vs Taylor/Conners (18*)
Right, down the last we go in match one.
Nick Taylor has been rock solid all day but hits a dreadful tee shot on the 18th.
That is miles right.
Burns delivers a superb response.
Advantage USA.
Thomas/Young 3dn vs Scott/Bezuidenhout (13)
Christiaan Bezuidenhout finds the water on the 12th hole.
Young misses the green right, but Thomas puts him in a decent position with their second and the pair are able to save par.
That's one hole back...
Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im looked as though their match was going to head up the 17th at the very least, but the former Masters champion drains his par putt from 17 feet to close out the match 3&2.
That means the overall score is now 3-3.
Henley/Bridgeman 2dn vs Im/Matsuyama (15)
Jacob Bridgeman and Russell Henley haven't really been in this match.
But momentum could be shifting down the stretch.
Bridgeman has a decent effort to save par, whilst Hideki Matsuyama has plenty of work to do.
Morikawa/Clark 1up vs Fox/Lee (14)
Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee are in a real battle with Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa.
Fox is forced to drain a five-footer for par at the 14th to prevent the American pair extending their lead.
Thomas/Young 4dn vs Scott/Bezuidenhout (12)
What a nightmare Justin Thomas and Cameron Young are having today.
The pair are yet to make a birdie and can only manage a bogey at the 12th which is not good enough to win the hole.
Scheffler/Burns 1dn vs Conners/Taylor (16)
Over at the par-3 16th, both teams have tricky downhill putts.
Scheffler goes first and barely touches his golf ball and it still trickles past the cup about four feet.
Conners does the same but goes slightly further away.
Taylor is up to the task, though, and safely finds the back of the cup.
Likewise Burns.
Two to play
Thomas/Young 3dn vs Scott/Bezuidenhout (11)
Justin Thomas watches Adam Scott lay-up at the par-4 12th.
He decides to take the green on and sends his drive out left.
It cuts back towards the green, but is well short and finds the water.
Scheffler/Burns 1dn vs Conners/Taylor (15)
Two pars for each team over at the 15th.
Morikawa/Clark 1up vs Fox/Lee (12)
Judging by how well Clark and Morikawa have been playing over the last few holes, it's absolutely no surprise to see the duo take the lead.
Once again, Morikawa leaves his playing partner in a good position at the 12th and Clark makes no mistake from 12 feet for his birdie.
Fox and Lee look stunned.
Scheffler/Burns 1dn vs Conners/Taylor (14)
Over at the 14th, Nick Taylor judges a monster putt from 60 feet to perfection.
Scheffler and Burns concede the putt for a par but have trouble of their own after finding the bunker with their approach.
Burns splashes out beautifully and Scheffler confidently holes out from six feet to tie the hole.
Morikawa/Clark tied with Fox/Lee (11)
The US team recover from a poor tee shot to tie the 11th hole, courtesy of a nice par save from Wyndham Clark.
Cantlay/Schauffele 2dn vs T. Kim/S.W. Kim (9)
Tom Kim lets out a massive roar as Si Woo Kim drains a lengthy, curling birdie putt at the 9th green.
That puts the pressure right back on Xander Schauffele, who misses low.
That's a nice lead to have at the turn and an awful lot of yellow on the board..
Thomas/Young 3dn vs Scott/Bezuidenhout (9)
Adam Scott converts from three feet for birdie at the par-3 9th after watching his playing partner hit a sensational iron shot.
Thomas and Young need to find something.
And fast.
Henley/Bridgeman 1dn vs Im/Matsuyama (11)
Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman are fighting ever so hard.
Hideki Matsuyama fails to save par from 12 feet to allow the American duo to get another hole back.
