The U.S. Presidents Cup team were scripted in white polos for Friday’s foursomes session at Medinah Country Club.

Fitting, considering the Americans were white-washed by the Internationals, who used their second Friday foursomes sweep in as many Presidents Cups to take a convincing 7-3 lead heading into the weekend.

The Internationals also swept the first foursomes session two years ago at Royal Montreal, though that 5-0 performance only tied the score after an opening-day fourball sweep by the U.S. The Internationals ended up losing by seven points.

However, this four-point lead through two frames matches the Internationals’ largest ever. The only other time they led by four entering Saturday was in 1998 at Royal Melbourne. What happened that Sunday? The Internationals captured their only Presidents Cup, by nine.

Here is a match-by-match recap of how Friday’s foursomes sweep unfolded on Medinah’s No. 3 Course just outside Chicago:

Match 6 – Corey Conners/Nick Taylor (Int.) def. Scottie Scheffler/Sam Burns (U.S.), 1 up

How it happened: Scheffler and Burns entered this leadoff match with nearly a 60% chance of winning, per Data Golf, the greatest win probability of the five matches. But these things aren’t won on paper, and after the U.S. failed to birdie either the par-5s on the front nine (Burns yanked his second shot out of bounds on the par-5 third), the Internationals jumped ahead through six holes. They never got more than 1 up, but after Taylor rolled in 4-footers to tie Nos. 16 and 17, he and Conners arrived at the par-4 18th still ahead. That’s when Taylor fanned his drive right but then responded by stuffing a 148-yard wedge shot to gimme range. Burns’ birdie try from 18 feet caught plenty of cup before ultimately lipping out and sealing the Canadians’ upset. Scheffler and Burns are now 1-4-1 as a duo in Cup play.

Turning point: Taylor hated his drive at the par-4 12th, which was playing longer than the drivable number utilized on Thursday. However, Taylor’s double cross kicked off the grandstand and left Conners with a good lie and just 90 yards in. After Scheffler hit an OK wedge shot, Conners clipped one nicely to 6 feet. Taylor finished off the birdie to retake the lead for his team.

Man of the match: Taylor. He and Conners were fairly equal, though after not playing on Thursday, Taylor answered nearly every pressure moment, including at the end.

Shot of the match: Considering the circumstances, it’s Taylor’s wedge at No. 18, but Scheffler had a couple stiff approaches, including this one on No. 2 that was arguably the better shot.

Quotable: “We just tried to be relentless out there. Both hit a lot of quality shots, and Nick made some key putts there towards the end to keep us in the position, highlighted by his approach shot into the last here. It was unbelievable.” – Conners

For the week: Taylor (1-0), Conners (1-1), Scheffler (1-1), Burns (1-1)

Match 7 – Sungjae Im/Hideki Matsuyama (Int.) def. Russell Henley/Jacob Bridgeman (U.S.), 3 and 2

How it happened: This was a story of putting, and the pair that excelled in that facet was not what many would’ve predicted. Though the Americans clawed back to just 1 down through 11 holes, Matsuyama rolled in a 20-footer for birdie at the par-4 12th hole to return he and Im’s advantage to 2 up. From there, the Internationals made the pressure putts they needed to, including a match-clinching par save from 20 feet by Matsuyama at the par-3 16th. Bridgeman lipped out a 6-footer to extend, and he and Henley finished with only two birdies in 16 holes.

Turning point: Usually reliable with the wand, Henley missed putts of 6 feet and 8 feet on Nos. 4 and 6, respectively. Those two misses, plus Texas-wedge birdies from 15 feet at Nos. 5 and 6 by Im, contributed to the Internationals winning four straight holes, Nos. 3-6, to take control of the match.

Man of the match: Im. Matsuyama’s iron play wasn’t particularly sharp, and Im gained over two-and-a-half shots on and around the greens.

Shot of the match: There are several candidates, but Matsuyama’s two putts down the stretch were most impressive, and the clincher produced the most emotion out of the veteran.

Quotable: TBD

For the week: Matsuyama (2-0), Im (1-1), Henley (0-1), Bridgeman (0-1)

Match 8 – Ryan Fox/Min Woo Lee (Int.) def. Collin Morikawa/Wyndham Clark (U.S.), 1 up

Match 9 – Christiaan Bezuidenhout/Adam Scott (Int.) def. Cameron Young/Justin Thomas (U.S.), 3 and 2

How it happened: An opening bogey foreshadowed a rough go for Thomas and Young, who didn’t card a birdie until the 16th hole, where Bezuidenhout’s 31-foot birdie negated it and also closed out the match. While Bezuidenhout was shaky early, hitting his approach out of play at the par-4 second, he settled in after that. The Internationals birdied four times from Nos. 3-9 to grab a 3-up advantage at the turn, and when Thomas rinsed his tee ball at the par-4 12th, that International lead grew to 4 up.

Turning point: “Get a longer putter!” One heckler yelled that at Scott as the Aussie’s 44-foot birdie putt was on its way toward the hole at the par-3 seventh. It dropped, and Thomas’ 10-footer to tie didn’t, and the Internationals doubled their lead to 2 up.

Man of the match: Scott. Neither of the four players in this match gained strokes on the day, but Scott was the steadiest.

Shot of the match: Scott’s bomb at No. 7 was the best of the Internationals’ five birdies.

Quotable: TBD

For the week: Bezuidenhout (1-0), Scott (1-1), Thomas (1-1), Young (0-2)

Match 10 –Tom Kim/Si Woo Kim (Int.) def. Patrick Cantlay/Xander Schauffele (U.S.), 4 and 3
