Overview of the Presidents Cup.
A concise overview of the Presidents Cup matches held on Friday at Royal Montreal (all times EDT):
CURRENT SCORE: United States 5, International 5.
SESSION SUMMARY: The International team achieved victory in all five foursomes matches, marking only the second occurrence in Presidents Cup history that they have swept an entire session.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT: This marks the first instance since the inception of the Presidents Cup in 1994 that either team has recorded two session sweeps.
SIGNIFICANT VICTORY: Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im secured a decisive 7-and-6 win against Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. This victory ties the Presidents Cup record for the largest margin, previously set in 2011 when Adam Scott and K.J. Choi defeated Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker in foursomes.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCE: Matsuyama and Im achieved birdies on their final seven holes during the alternate shot format.
SHOT OF THE DAY: Jason Day executed a challenging pitch from a slightly downhill lie on a muddy patch of turf, landing the ball within a foot for a conceded par that ensured a 1-up victory.
