The Americans grabbed the early edge on Day 1 of the Presidents Cup, winning four of five foursomes (alternate shot) matches to take a 4-1 lead. Now, the Internationals will need to rebound in the fourballs (best ball) session on Friday.
Captains Davis Love III and Trevor Immelman both elected to swap bench players for the second session, so all four players who sat on Thursday — Billy Horschel and Kevin Kisner for the U.S. and Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Sebastian Munoz for the Internationals — will see their first action on Friday.
Three of the Americans’ pairings are the same as Thursday: Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, Sam Burns and Scottie Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. Meanwhile, the Internationals are going with five new pairings.
The complete matchups for the fourballs session are below. You can follow all of the Day 2 action from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. You can also stream it with Peacock or at NBCSports.com and on the NBC Sports App.
