Australia's Scott and Lee guide Internationals to shock Presidents Cup lead
Australians Scott and Lee led the Internationals to a 7-3 Presidents Cup lead after sweeping all foursomes matches on day two.
The Internationals claimed all five foursomes points on day two of the Presidents Cup, only the second time they have ever done so. Adam Scott paired with South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout to beat Justin Thomas and Cameron Young 3 and 2.
Min Woo Lee teamed with New Zealand's Ryan Fox to edge Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark by one hole. Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor defeated world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns 1 up.
The commanding lead gives Geoff Ogilvy's underdogs a genuine chance to win the Cup for the first time since 1998. The USA still has 20 points available across three remaining sessions to force a comeback.
