The International Team stormed back into contention on Day 2 of the Presidents Cup in some style, sweeping the USA 5-0 during Friday’s foursomes.

The Internationals, down 5-0 to start the day, won all five foursome matches to tie the Americans heading into Saturday.

After the U.S. side swept the first five matches Thursday at Royal Montreal, International Team Captain Mike Weir, Canadian through and through, described the shutout in hockey terms as only the first period. “There’s a long way to go,” Weir pointed out. “Still significant sessions left. That’s the way we’re looking at it.”
