What are the Sunday pairings at the 2024 Presidents Cup?
The United States battled back from a tough Day 2 to end Saturday with a 11-7 advantage heading into the final round at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
There were more twists and turns from the Royal Montreal Golf Club on Saturday as the United States battled to take the lead in the Presidents Cup.
At the close of play on Sunday the US had a 11-7 overall lead over the International team. It’s a solid advantage but certainly not an insurmountable one. The US bounced back from a shocking Friday’s play, in which the International players scored a 5-0 win to level the scores.
“Looking up at that board, it was looking kind of not that great early on,” said American golfer Xander Schauffele at the end of the day’s play. “It was extremely motivating for P.C. and I to see some of these matches start to pancake, or as Sahith says, Mongolian. It was extremely motivating.”
“Yesterday was yesterday,” Collin Morikawa added. “It’s not like we’ve never played bad golf, and it’s not like we’ve never lost before. Honestly, I think after we came in and got our frustrations out. We knew, once we got back home and got some rest, it was a brand-new day and we had to come out.”

The Presidents Cup pits the United States against an International team that represents the rest of the world, excluding Europe, and is a unique golf event in that there is no purse or prize money on the line.
