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.
“We’re going to face a loud crowd again. It’s the weekend. We can expect that same 1st tee experience that we saw today.” After the first day, International star Tom Kim said the crowd was too quiet. But just like the team, it appeared the crowd also bounced back after a difficult first day and Kim credited the fans for a spectacular second day. “They were unbelievable today. They definitely brought it. Obviously these guys had to go out and play.
