On the first day, Team USA won all five fourball matches and took the lead. However, Friday, September 27, saw an outstanding comeback from the International Team, who won all of their foursome matches. After two rounds, the teams are tied at 5-5.Nuclr Golf shared the news of the International Team’s impressive second-day performance at the 2024 Presidents Cup on its X (formerly Twitter) account, stating:
“🚨😲🏆 #CLEAN SWEEP 🧹 — The International team absolutely smoked the U.S. team on day 2 of the #PresidentsCup . The two sides are now tied 5-5 heading into Saturday morning Four-ball sessions. 😮💨”
After a rough start on the first day of the 2024 Presidents Cup, the International Team was impressive on the second day with a remarkable comeback. Team captain Mike Weir praised his players for their outstanding performances.
On the final day, it proved to be a tough afternoon for Mike Weir and the International Team as Team USA secured an emphatic victory of the Presidents Cup in Canada.
International Team captain Mike Weir has admitted he will have to look back at what he could have done differently following defeat to Team USA at the Presidents Cup. He also said that he believes his team had performed better than team USA, but it was all planned out ahead, that why they were the underdog for the tournament and team USA won’t want to lose the tournament because of the money involved.
An enthralling week in Montreal came to a somewhat comfortable end for the Americans, who won six matches and halved three in the Sunday singles to ensure they won the title for the 10th time in a row. Despite being underdogs, the Internationals more than played their part.
Having been whitewashed 5-0 on day one, Weir’s squad gave Team USA a taste of their own medicine a day later, winning all five matches on Friday to set up an exciting tournament. Day three then saw the Americans nudge ahead 11-7 before they showed exactly why they have proved so dominant on the Presidents Cup stage, marching to an 18.5-11.5 win following the singles. For Weir and his team, there was plenty to be proud of, but the Canadian appears to have plenty to reflect on.
“Of course, I am going to be thinking about things I could have done differently,” he told Sky Sports. “It is human nature, when you don’t win, you are going to look at yourself in the mirror and see what you could have done differently. No doubt about it. I’ll have plenty of time to do that after.”Weir’s honest assessment came after he paid tribute to everyone who had been involved in the International setup, as well as also claiming he feels his team ‘was cheated’, having been dominated by Team USA for so long. “It was really an incredible experience,” the Canadian claimed.
