Presidents Cup: International team lead 7-3 after sweeping Team USA in foursomes
Geoff Ogilvy's side came roaring back on day two in Chicago.
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.

Fore left!
Scheffler/Burns 1up vs Conners/Taylor (3*)
Sam Burns, where has that come from?
The American hits a massive pull straight left. That is out of bounds.
Scheffler reloads and finds the green.
This hole isn't over, though.
Nick Taylor can only advance his ball from the fairway bunker about 100 yards down the fairway.
Conners is up to the task and hits a nice approach very close.
19:41
Match two stays tied
Henley/Bridgeman tied with Im/Matsuyama (1)
Hideki Matsuyama misses the green with his approach at the 1st, but his playing partner has his back and chips close.
Russell Henley sends a long birdie putt towards the hole but it stops short.
Bridgeman tidies up for par.
19:38
Match three begins
Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee are taking on Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark in the third match.
Fox, who will be disappointed with his performance yesterday, finds the fairway at the 1st.
Morikawa also finds the short stuff.
19:35
Conners finds the bunker
Scheffler/Burns 1up vs Conners/Taylor (3*)
Corey Conners and Nick Taylor are already up against it on the 3rd hole.

Advantage USA in match one
Scheffler/Burns 1up vs Conners/Taylor (2)
Nick Taylor plays a nice little bump and run but it runs out about five feet past the cup.
Conners tidies up the par but Burns has no issue converting the birdie putt.
Advantage Team USA in the opening match.
19:30
Fine approach from Scheffler
Scheffler/Burns tied with Conners/Taylor (2*)
Scottie Scheffler is already in the groove.
A dart from 201 yards on the 2nd fairway never leaves the flag.
You would think that Burns will have no problem converting that.
Conners misses the green and it looks like Taylor will have a tricky bump and run.
19:25
Excellent tee shots from Burns and Taylor
Scheffler/Burns tied with Conners/Taylor (2*)
Sam Burns decides to aim towards the OOB posts down the left side of the 2nd fairway.
His cut manages to find the short stuff.
Taylor opts for a 3-wood and his golf ball is veering right.
But it stops short of the fairway bunker.
19:22
Match two begins
Right, it's time for the second match.
Sungjae Im, who is playing alongside Hideki Matsuyama, has the honour.
Im, as he so often does on the PGA Tour, finds the fairway with a little cut.
Russell Henley is up next. It's another beauty.
19:20
Scheffler/Burns tied vs Taylor/Conners (1)
Scottie Scheffler barely breathes on his birdie putt at the 1st.
It's a decent effort but just misses the right edge.
Now, what can Corey Conners muster?
It's another weak effort from the Canadian. Opportunity missed.
The Internationals opt not to concede Burns' putt from around four feet.
He buries it.
19:15
Great shot by Talyor
Scheffler/Burns tied vs Taylor/Conners (1*)
Sam Burns is up first for the United States on the 1st fairway. It's a great line, but just trickles into the first cut of rough beyond the pin. That'll still be a putt for Scheffler.
Taylor's approach is much better. Inside 15 feet for birdie for Conners.

Hole locations for day two...
19:09

Day two of the 2026 Presidents Cup is underway.

What can Scottie Scheffler manage?
It goes right, too, but grabs some fairway.
The U.S. duo are off to a good start .
