The 13th edition of the Presidents Cup got off to a surprising start at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Victoria, Australia, with the International team bolting out to a 4-1 tournament lead.
American captain Tiger Woods scored the country's only point of the opening day—airing Wednesday night in the States, played Thursday in Australia—alongside Justin Thomas.
The opening round was a four-ball structure, meaning two players from each team paired together to play against each other. Each golfer is responsible for his own ball at every hole with the best score counting for the duo.
