Presidents Cup: USA Lead 3-2 After Fourballs

Team USA secured a 3-2 lead in the Presidents Cup as they look to claim their 11th consecutive victory. Thursday's fourballs saw the hosts narrowly emerge in the lead before Friday's alternate shot format.

Key Wins on Day One

Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivun scored the first point of the day to produce a dominant 4&3 win over Canada's Corey Conners and Colombia's Nico Echavarria.

World number one Scottie Scheffler linked up with Sam Burns to earn a tight win over Min Woo Lee and Sungjae Im on the 17th hole as the international pairing missed a series of putts down the stretch.

Clark Calls for More Support

The pairing of Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa cemented the US side's advantage after leading from the outset against Adam Scott and Ryan Fox.

Major-winner Clark has expressed some disappointment with the American crowd and called on them to do more to help push the US to victory.

International Hopes

The international side will hope that can halt any momentum as they look to keep their hopes alive having not won since 1998.
