Presidents Cup 2024 LIVE: Saturday’s pairings and matches, scores, tee times and how to follow action at Royal Montreal
The 2024 Presidents Cup is heating up in Montreal as Team USA look to maintain their dominance over the Internationals in the event.
The Internationals have only won one of the 14 events held so far and suffered a heavy loss at Quail Hollow in 2022.
Home favourite and 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir is the International captain this year and has a host of big names at his disposal.
But USA captain Jim Furyk also has a star-studded team including the best two players in world golf right now - Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
And the Americans got off to the perfect start on Thursday, winning all of the opening fourball matches to take an early 5-0 lead.
But the Internationals hit back in stunning style in Friday's foursomes, traditionally the USA's strongest format, claiming victories across the board to level the scores at 5-5 heading into the weekend.
