Presidents Cup: International team lead 10-8 heading in to singles
Published:
The International team will hold a two point lead over the United States heading in to the final 12 singles matches as they bid to win the Presidents Cup for just the second time.
It was a tale of two sessions during the third day of the Presidents Cup as the Internationals won the fourballs to take a four point lead before the U.S rallied in the foursomes to narrow the gap.
At one stage the U.S. were up in all four foursomes matches and looked like they could level the scores heading in to the final day, but a big fightback from Marc Leishman and Abraham Ancer saw them rally from 5 down after 10 holes to walk away with a half against Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas. Byeong Hun An and Joaquin Niemann soon followed, ensuring a half with Matt Kuchar and Tony Finau despite being behind for the majority of the round.
