International Team Holds Three-Point Lead Over U.S. Heading Into Presidents Cup Singles
Anonymous
The International team leads the 2026 Presidents Cup 10½–7½ heading into Sunday’s 12 singles matches after rallying repeatedly against the U.S. on Saturday. Min Woo Lee helped spark two comebacks, and Corey Conners and Nick Taylor came back from three down to beat Jacob Bridgeman and Russell Henley. U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker said he was second-guessing his decisions and blamed himself for not putting players in the best situations, while defending his choice to pair Henley with Bridgeman. Snedeker also drew attention for resting world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in the afternoon foursomes, saying he wanted him refreshed for singles; Scheffler said he was ready to support his teammates. The U.S., which has won the last 10 Presidents Cups, enters the final session trailing by three points.
