2026 Presidents Cup standings, scores, results: International team maintains lead over U.S. after Day 3

The United States came into Saturday’s double session at the 2026 Presidents Cup in unfamiliar territory, trailing the International team 7-3.

In both sessions on Saturday, the Americans jumped out to leads in all four matches on the front nine, but the Internationals steadily clawed their way back in to maintain an advantage heading into Sunday’s singles competition at 10.5 to 7.5.

In the morning four-ball session, it was Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim who led the charge in rallying the International troops back into action, beating Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa to secure a much-needed full point. Min Woo Lee and Sungjae Im were able to come back to tie their match with Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivun to get a half-point and keep the International side three points clear despite dropping two matches.

In the afternoon foursomes session, the Americans improved after getting swept on Friday in the same format, but again needed something spectacular. They could only come up with 2 points after a pair of massive comebacks on the International side.

Brandt Snedeker made a surprising decision to bench world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and get him some rest before singles, banking on his guys to be able to go out and get the job done. Sam Burns, who played with Scheffler the first three sessions, paired with Clark, but that duo struggled late in a 3&2 defeat to Lee and Ryan Fox. He also sent out Jacob Bridgeman and Russell Henley for a second straight day, who collapsed down the stretch to lose to Nick Taylor and Corey Conners after piling up a big lead.

The bright spot for the U.S. all day was the Chris Gotterup and Cameron Young pairing. It was a team many expected to see from the American side, but they weren’t put together until Saturday when they won both of their matches going away — 2&1 in four-ball and then 6&4 in foursomes — bludgeoning Medinah No. 3 with their combined length.

For an American team desperate for strong team options, especially in foursomes, finding a potential go-to pairing in Young and Gotterup for future Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup competitions is, if nothing else, a big win. However, Snedeker will face questions about why it took that long to get those two together, and the U.S. will head into singles with a three-point deficit to overcome.

The last time they trailed heading into singles was 2019, when they overcame a 10-8 deficit to win 16-14 with a dominant showing in their preferred singles format. The United States has long been best at the individual portion of the team events, including at last year’s Ryder Cup where they nearly pulled off a shocking comeback victory.

Even trailing by three points, the U.S. is very much alive given their strength in singles, but the continued struggles in the team format — most notably foursomes — will stay a talking point for at least another year.
