Melbourne, Australia • The International team is going so well at this Presidents Cup that it had to settle for a three-point lead after two sessions at Royal Melbourne.
Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay were among those who made sure it was only that.
Louis Oosthuizen and Adam Scott rallied from 2 down by winning five of the next seven holes and closed out Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar in the opening foursomes match Friday. Marc Leishman and Abraham Ancer bulled their way to victory over Patrick Reed and Webb Simpson.
Instead, the Americans take a little momentum into a double session of matches Saturday, winning two matches on the 18th hole and halving another.
