The International team need five points on the final day to secure a first Presidents Cup in 28 years after holding off a United States fightback on day three in Medinah.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Internationals were behind in every match at one stage but will go into Sunday’s singles holding a 10-5-7.5 lead.<\/p>\n
The hosts had the better of the morning session, winning two and tying one of the four-balls.<\/p>\n
But the teams split the afternoon foursomes, with Canada’s Corey Conners saving par at the 18th to win the final match on the course and preserve the Internationals’ three-point lead.<\/p>\n
The International team have only won the President’s Cup once since its inception in 1994 and never on American soil.<\/p>\n
“We were down in every match, and to come back and get one and a half points out of this morning, we felt that was a little victory because we were down everywhere,” said team captain Geoff Ogilvy.<\/p>\n
“This afternoon, the same thing happened. Team USA played so well all day. They played some really high-level foursomes, especially this afternoon.<\/p>\n
“For the boys to somehow come back and pinch two points out of that and split the session was amazing.”<\/p>\n
Sunday sees 12 singles games take place, with each side needing 15.5 points to seal victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
