The International Team stormed back into contention on Day 2 of the Presidents Cup in some style, sweeping the USA 5-0 during Friday’s foursomes. The score is now tied at 5-5 with two days of golf left to play. Heading into the second day of competition, Team USA was in complete control of the matchup against the Internationals. Led by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the US swept their opponents 5-0 on the opening day of action and the Cup looked to already be only heading one way. But returning the favor, the Internationals produced a much-needed stellar performance to bring themselves back level. Their dominance began from the first matchup of the day when Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im defeated Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, 7 and 6, to equal the tournament record for the shortest ever match, last set in 2011.
