USA led all four Saturday foursome matches at one point, but the Internationals rallied to split the afternoon session and maintain their three-point lead at the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club.

The Internationals, who hold a 10.5-7.5 advantage, will need five points from Sunday's single matches to win the Presidents Cup for the second time ever and the first time since 1998. It's the first time on American soil that the Internationals will take a lead into Sunday.

Match 1: Cantlay/Schauffele πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ win 2&1 over Kim πŸ‡°πŸ‡·/Kim πŸ‡°πŸ‡·

The Americans finally found an answer for the red-hot duo of Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim with the veteran tandem of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. The Kims were both 3-0-0 at the event entering Saturday foursomes, but Cantlay and Schauffele jumped out to a 1-up lead on the second hole and never trailed the entire match.

Match 2: Conners πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦/Taylor πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ win 1-up over Henley/Bridgeman πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Match 2 provided the most drama of the afternoon session. Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman were 3-up through 10 holes, but Corey Conners and Nick Taylor stormed back by winning four of the next five holes - No. 11, 12, 14, and 15. Taylor's errant drive on the 18th forced the Canadians to make a crucial up-and-down to tie the hole and win the match.

Match 3: Young/Gotterup πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ win 6&4 over Scott πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί/Im πŸ‡°πŸ‡·

Cam Young and Chris Gotterup authored the most lopsided victory of the afternoon at the expense of Adam Scott and Sungjae Im. The Americans went 5-up through seven holes in dominant fashion, highlighted by an eagle on No. 3.

Match 4: Fox πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ/Lee πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί win 3&2 over Burns/Clark πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Sam Burns and Wyndham Clark were 2-up through two holes, but couldn't hold off Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee. The International duo won holes No. 3, 7, and 8 to pull ahead, then iced the match by tying the par-3 16th.
