The United States stormed back from a rough start to the Presidents Cup, cutting the International team lead down to 6.5-3.5 through Day 2.
The world squad built its largest opening-session lead in event history at 4-1, but the Americans won two and tied one of five foursome matches (alternate shot) Friday in Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. All five U.S. teams trailed at different times but the squad showcased great resolve to fight back in this competition.
American player-captain Tiger Woods was the only winner on Day 1 alongside partner Justin Thomas and the duo came through again with a 1-up win against Hideki Matsuyama and Byeong Hun An.
