Presidents Cup Day 2: International Team leads 6 1/2 - 3 1/2.. live scoreboard and results..

Presidents Cup matches https://www.presidentscup.com/leaderboard.html

Against all the odds, Ernie Els rolled the dice in Thursday's four ball matches at the Presidents Cup, and following his "all for one and one for all" battle cry his troops stunned the experts, rookies and veterans alike, matching the USA stroke for stroke, making a few huge putts deep into the rounds and coming out on top 4-1 going into todays (Friday in Australia) foursomes (alternate shot).

The captains and their assistants made the draw for today's foursome matches, Tiger standing pat with 3 of his pairings, sitting Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau, while Ernie continued to send out all of his players except Haotong Li who sits for the second day.

Follow all today's results by clicking on the link above.

Friday summary: After a day when the International Team looked like they were going to blow the Americans out, the teams split the days play at 2 1/2 a piece. Patrick Cantley made a 20 footer to eek out a win against Adam Hadwin/ Joaquin Niemann and 10 minutes later Justin Thomas made the same putt to just edge Matsuyama/An to salvage the day for USA.

If anyone told you USA would be losing after 2 days play you would have had their heads examined, however if you listened to the American broadcast team of Dan Hicks and Paul Azinger you'd think they just won the Cup, yet again..

Saturday features fourball matches at 7am local, followed by foursomes in the afternoon, before Sunday singles.
