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.

It was a tough day for the United States but they fought back to retake the lead in the four-day tournament. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler began without a single birdie through the first 15 holes but dropped two on the 16th and 17th to help his team to an early victory.

“I was able to make a couple birdies when my partner needed me because he was a bit alone out there for a while today, so I was proud to step up when I needed to,” said Scheffler after his battling victory alongside Collin Morikawa.
