However, Scheffler has shown numerous times throughout his underwhelming Presidents Cup career that the game isn&#8217;t played on paper, leaving the door open for an upset at Medinah.<\/p>\n<p>The back-and-forth match saw Taylor and Conners take a 1-up lead to the 18th, but a wayward drive forced a pitch-out to the fairway for the International Team. Taylor then played hero by nearly holing out from 148 yards to secure par and force Burns to make his 18-footer for birdie.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taking down two of the top players in the world \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian pair for <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IntlTeam?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@INTLTeam<\/a> defeat Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns 1UP <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PresidentsCup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@PresidentsCup<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MFBuuPqqLV\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/MFBuuPqqLV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PGA Tour (@PGATour) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PGATour\/status\/2103607963252412640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">September 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Burns&#8217; attempt lipped out, and the Canadians walked off with a stunning upset.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On paper, Friday&#8217;s opening match of Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns versus Nick Taylor and Corey Conners should&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-910377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
