Presidents Cup: Pairings & Results
Published: Last updated:
The third day of Presidents Cup matches will take place on Saturday, with the United States taking a substantial lead after winning both Thursday and Friday sessions.
The United States Team were a force to be reckoned with during the Friday fourball sessions, taking 4.5 points from a possible 5 and taking the total to 8-2 in the overall standings.
The only half came from the top match of the day, as the power pairing of Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed needed a strong fight-back from Adam Hadwin and Hideki Matsuyama.
Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler were paired together for the second time in two days, and took out the five-time unbeaten International team of Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace by 3&2 to gain a 2-0-0 record of their own.
Rookies Kevin Chappel and Charley Hoffman had the biggest result of the day, taking down Anirban Lahiri and Charl Schwartzel 6&5.
Phil Mickleson and Kevin Kisner met the same opponents they’d faced on day 1, and once again the match went down 18 all-square, but this time – it ended in favour of the Americans.
Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka fell behind early on in the fifth match, but fought back to a 3&2 victory over Adam Scott & Jhonattan Vegas. You can watch The Presidents Cup from 5.30pm on Sky Sports Golf, with the tee times starting at 11.35am in New Jersey, which is 4.35pm UK time.
