2024 Presidents Cup standings and Day 3 scores for USA and the International Team
The United States hold the lead going into the final day of action at the Royal Montreal Golf Club, Quebec.
The United States battled back to regain control of the Presidents Cup on Saturday, coming after a chastening Friday performance. Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele picked up wins in the Saturday Four-ball, helping the US to a 11-7 advantage at the end of a thrilling day’s play.
The International team had bounced back on Day 2 after a dominant showing in the Foursomes, winning all five matches. After the US began with a 5-0 clean sweep on Day 1, the International team’s comeback left things tied headed into Saturday.
The action from Royal Montreal Golf Club, Quebec culminates with Round 5 on Sunday, with a final round of singles competitions. The United States has won the last nine iterations of the tournament, dating back to the draw in 2003. That remains the only time in the 30-year history of the Presidents Cup that the US has not finished victorious.
