Matsuyama and Im had an incredible Day Two at the Presidents Cup, putting the first International point on the board with authority.

The International Team, led by a wild 7&6 win from Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im, swept the Americans in Friday’s foursomes matches. That marked the International Team’s first win in an alternate shot match session since 2005 and it was the first time that there have been back-to-back sweeps in either a Presidents Cup or a Ryder Cup.

Shigeki Maruyama was all smiles, just like always, watching from in front of the 12th green as Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im delivered a record-tying rout over America's best foursomes duo Friday at the Presidents Cup.

So maybe this Presidents Cup won't be a walkover after all. One day after getting pasted, 5-0, in the Thursday fourballs round, the International Team swung back hard at the United States. Leading the charge: Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im,

Judging the performance of a player at an event like the Presidents Cup can be slightly tricky, in part because it's such a small sample size, and in part because results often depend so much on both playing partners and opponents.
