In the misty dawn of Montreal, the stage was set for a thrilling Saturday at the prestigious golf tournament. As the fog rolled in, the competition heated up, with the American team delivering crucial shots to take the lead.
Scottie Scheffler shone bright, sinking two clutch birdies in the morning’s four-ball match to secure a vital point. Later, he teamed up with Russell Henley to overcome a three-hole deficit, ultimately taking the lead with a precision wedge shot on the 14th hole.
As the sun began to set, the pressure mounted, and the lights came on to illuminate the 18th green. In a nail-biting finish, Patrick Cantlay lived up to his “Ice” reputation, sinking a dramatic birdie putt to secure a crucial point. His partner, Xander Schauffele, played a crucial role in reading the putt, which Cantlay described as “a cup out with some speed.”
The International team, led by Adam Scott, fought valiantly, but ultimately fell short. Scott, playing in his 11th tournament, secured a hard-fought victory alongside Taylor Pendrith, but it was the only bright spot for the International team.
As the day drew to a close, the Americans held a commanding 11-7 lead, with only the singles matches remaining. History is on their side, with the International team having won the singles session only three times in 14 attempts.
Despite the deficit, the International team remains determined to make history and secure their second-ever victory. However, the Americans are poised to extend their winning streak, fueled by their dominant performance on Saturday.
