The International team hold a 10-5-7.5 lead over the United States after day three of the Presidents Cup in Medinah, needing just five points on Sunday to win their first title since 1994. Despite trailing in every match at one stage, the Internationals recovered to split the afternoon foursomes and preserve their three-point advantage. The United States won two and tied one of the morning four-ball matches, but Canada's Corey Conners saved par on the 18th hole to win the final afternoon match and maintain the Internationals' edge.

Captain Geoff Ogilvy praised his team's resilience after being down in all matches earlier in the day. Sunday's singles session will feature 12 matches, with each side requiring 15.5 points to secure victory. The Internationals have won the Presidents Cup only once since its inception in 1994 and have never triumphed on American soil.
