The International team built a 10½-7½ lead over the U.S. at Medinah, Illinois, on Saturday, setting up the largest singles deficit the Americans have faced since the Presidents Cup began in 1994. The Internationals rallied from deficits in every match to secure the lead, with captain Geoff Ogilvy praising their passion and fight. The U.S., led by captain Brandt Snedeker, will need a historic singles comeback, as teams trailing entering singles are just 1-12-1 all-time.

Snedeker stacked his lineup with Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler, but the Internationals, featuring Tom Kim, Corey Conners, and Nico Echavarria, are poised for a historic win.
