U.S. Sweeps Opening Matches at Presidents Cup

Team USA dominated the opening day of the Presidents Cup, achieving a 5-0 sweep in the fourball matches against the International team at Royal Montreal. Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele led their team with strong performances, while the U.S. captain Jim Furyk expressed confidence in maintaining their momentum. This marks only the third time in the history of the event that the Americans achieved a clean sweep on the first day, a feat last accomplished in 2000. Despite the defeat, International captain Mike Weir remains optimistic, stating that there is still time for a comeback. The International team struggled with crucial birdie putts, which could have turned the matches in their favor. The next round of competition will feature five foursomes matches, with the Internationals looking to regain their footing.
