So much for that American blowout in the Presidents Cup. The International team returned the favor on a loud and raucous Friday at Royal Montreal by sweeping the foursomes matches and tied the Presidents Cup at 5-all. The Americans swept the opening session. This shutout by the Internationals was even more dominant.
International team member Si Woo Kim , of South Korea, listens to applause after making a putt on the 16th hole during a second-round foursome match at the Presidents Cup golf tournament at Royal Montreal Golf Club, Friday, Sept. 27, 2024 in Montreal. International team member Hideki Matsuyama , left, of Japan, and partner Sungjae Im, right, of South Korea, celebrate after winning a second-round foursome match at the Presidents Cup golf tournament at Royal Montreal Golf Club, Friday, Sept.
It tied the Presidents Cup record, last done in 2011 when Scott and K.J. Choi defeated Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker in 12 holes. The Americans didn’t help the cause by not hitting a fairway until the eighth hole. Then again, Matsuyama and Im were 8 under for 12 holes. The Canadians delivered just as big as Hughes and Corey Conners won the first two holes in a 6-and-5 rout over Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau.
And then Kim produced one last cheer. In a match in which 13 holes were halved, Kim and Byeong Hun An were 1 up over Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley going to the 18th when they hit into nasty rough and had no chance to reach the green.
