Day 3 at the Presidents Cup saw some of the most enthralling golf ever seen at Royal Melbourne. With Ernie’s men taking a 9-5 advantage into the afternoon’s foursomes, the Americans took command and were likely to tie the Presidents Cup at 9-9 heading into Sunday but remarkably, the Internationals clawed their way back from the brink in a few matches to secure two half points. It’ll be 10-8 to the International team when the singles matches start Sunday! We break down an incredible Saturday. Mark Hayes is joined by Martin ‘The Chief’ Blake, Mike Clayton and Matt Kamienski onsite at the Presidents Cup.

The Internationals lead for the first time after two sessions since 2005. Ernie’s men will take a 6.5 to 3.5 into Saturday’s double sessions as the anticipation builds for what could be one of the biggest upsets on golf’s world stage.
