The International Team carries a three-point lead into the final day of the 16th Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, holding a 10.5 to 7.5 advantage over the United States following Saturday’s matches. This marks the first time in tournament history that the International side holds a lead heading into Sunday while playing on foreign soil.
Saturday’s play at the Illinois venue featured four morning four-ball matches and four afternoon foursomes. The U.S. claimed a 2.5 to 1.5 victory in the morning session, but the Internationals fought back during the afternoon foursomes to secure a 2-2 split. Late rallies by the all-Canadian duo of Corey Conners and Nick Taylor, alongside Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee, preserved the visiting team’s lead.
Medinah Country Club Course No. 3 serves as the host for this year’s competition. The historic course has previously hosted the Ryder Cup in 2012, two PGA Championships, and three U.S. Opens, drawing strong crowds from the Chicagoland area throughout the week.
