Presidents Cup live updates from...

The 15th Presidents Cup is underway as Mike Weir's Internationals look to win the cup back from the USA for the first time in 26 years.

We have five four ball games today, with Jason Day and Byeong-hun An taking on Xander Schauffele and Tony Finau in the first match.

HELLO AND WELCOME!

Welcome to live updates from the 2024 Presidents Cup.

The United States will look to defend the title they won at Quail Hollow two years ago, but the International side will be looking to spring a surprise upset for their first cup victory since 1998 - 26 years ago!

MEET TEAM USA

Here is the side selected by Jim Fuyrk for the trip north of the border.

MEET TEAM INTERNATIONAL

Led by Mike Weir in his home country, here are the twelve players representing the International team.

THE BATTLE FOR THE CUP BEGINS SHORTLY

The opening match is set to tee off around 11.35am local time in Canada, so just under 10 minutes time.

One of Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele will hit the opening tee shot to kick start their match against the International's Jason Day and Byeong Hun An

THE PRESIDENTS CUP IS UNDERWAY!

Golf balls are in the air in Canada!

Tony Finau sends a driver up the middle of the fairway to get the match underway!

MATCH ONE IS GO!

After Finau's booming drive, the remaining three players all miss the fairway.

Schauffele's drive leaks well right of the fairway whilst Jason Day finds lush rough to the left. An finds the lighter rough right of the fairway and should have a decent lie for his approach.

SCHAUFFELE SPINS ONE INSIDE 10FT ON NO.1

Xander's tee shot was so wayward he got the advantage of the trampled down rough where the spectators were standing. He lands one 25ft past the hole and spins it back to inside 10ft.

Finau, An and Day are all also safely aboard the green with An having the best look at birdie from around 20ft.

MACKENZIE HUGHES SHOTGUNNING BEERS ON THE FIRST TEE

Back on the tee, Mackenzie Hughes was down on one knee downing a can of Stella Artrois, much to the enjoyment of the fans.

As you can imagine, he isn't playing today...

JASON DAY WALKS IN A LONG BIRDIE PUTT ON THE FIRST!

Jason Day does an early walk as his 25ft birdie putt drops in on the 1st.

It left Xander Schauffele a 12ft putt to half the hole with birdies but he misses low.

The International Team draw first blood in Canada.

MATCH TWO UNDERWAY

Sahith Theegala and Collin Morikawa take on Min Woo Lee and veteran Adam Scott in game number two, and all but Scott find the fairway off the first tee.

Scott missed his drive long and right in a similar position to Schauffele in match one. He'll have a trampled down lie in the rough but may have trees in his way to the green.

SCHAUFFELE WINS THE SECOND HOLE WITH BIRDIE

After zipping a wedge in to 3ft, Schauffele wins the second hole for the USA.

He and Finau are back to AS against Byeong Hun An and Jason Day.

EARLY LEAD FOR USA IN MATCH TWO

Morikawa rolls in a 20ft birdie putt on the first for the USA. Min Woo Lee cannot match him from a similar distance as the visitors take the lead in match two.

MATCH THREE UNDERWAY

Arguably the match of the day on paper, Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley find the fairway with their drives in their match against Tom Kim and Ben An.

Kim is the only man to miss a fairway. Early signs could be worrying for the International team, who have missed a number of fairways already, unlike their opponents.

If they have any chance of winning the cup, they'll have to hit more fairways - it's hard to make birdies from the rough.

THEEGALA MISSED CHANCE TO MOVE TO 2UP

A slippy birdie putt down the hill on the 2nd slides by for Theegala. He misses the 12ft effort but remains 1UP alongside Morikawa.

MORE RED ON THE BOARD AS HENLEY BIRDIES THE FIRST

After Im's birdie try lipped out, Presidents Cup rookie Russell Henley drops in a 12ft birdie putt on the opening hole to steal an early lead for himself and Scottie Scheffler.

MATCH FOUR UNDERWAY

This is a recurring theme, as Taylor Pendrith misses the fairway off the first tee after both Americans find the fairway.

His partner Bezuidenhout is safely in the short grass however, albeit a decent distance behind Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark.

TOM KIM IN HIS ELEMENT

Kim was arguably the star of the show in the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow, stealing the show as a rookie.

He was quite the showman, as expected, upon his arrival to the first tee. He and partner Im would lose the opening hole.

US TAKE THE LEAD IN MATCH FOUR

Bradley rolls in a 10ft birdie putt on the 1st to take the lead over the Internationals.

This has not been a good start for the hosts.

MATCH FIVE UNDERWAY AS ALL MATCHES NOW ON THE COURSE

Cantlay becomes only the second American from ten players to miss the fairway on the first, but Sam Burns safely finds the short grass.

In what is becoming a theme, both Matsuyama and Conners miss the fairway. Advantage to the U.S already.

BIRDIE ON THE SIXTH FOR Byeong Hun An WHO HALVES WITH Xander Schauffele

The top match remains all square after birdies on the par 5 sixth for Xander Schauffele and Ben An.

Second match also remains halved after pars on the par 3 fifth

Adam Scott has followed Collin Morikawa into the hole for a par 3 on the 5th and the second match is all squared too.

COOL PUTTING FROM PENDRITH ON THE third

Taylor Pendrith has just made a clutch par putt on the third for a half to ensure the international side remain just one down in the third match after Wyndham Clark was in for four already.

CHIP in MAGIC FROM AN ON THE SEVENTH

The top match remains all square despite An chipping in the hole for a birdie two on the seventh but Finau makes a half with his putt for a two.

SCHEFFLER MAKES A PAR AT THE PAR 3 FIFTH

World No.1 Scheffler has been playing second fiddle to partner Russell Henley in the third match but has just contributed on the par 3 fifth with a three before Sungjae Im followed him in for a half. USA remain one up in this third match out.

Corey Conners enjoying plenty of support

Canadian Corey Conners has started well in Montreal where he and partner Hideki Matsuyama are one up through three holes against Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay. Burns just putted in for birdie but Matsuyama walked his birdie putt in from about 12 yards for the half to keep his pairing ahead.

MIN WOO LEE'S BIRDIE PUTS THE INTERNATIONALS AHEAD

Min Woo Lee has just won the par 5 sixth with a birdie four as Morikawa and Theegala then failed to chip in for the half. The International pairing of Lee and Scott are now one up.

ADAM SCOTT STIFFS A WEDGE AT THE PAR 3 SEVENTH

Scott is in close to six feet at the short par 3 seventh with the international side , who are one up, enjoying some momentum. The USA pairing are also on the green but Morikawa and Theegala are 12 feet and 20 feet away respectively.

SCHEFFLER SPINS A WEDGE IN CLOSE AT THE PAR 5 SIXTH

Scheffler is pushing to extend his one up lead with Henley after spinning a wedge in close at the par 5 sixth against Sungjae Im and Tom Kim.

DRAMA AT THE PAR 3 SEVENTH AS MORIKAWA WINS HOLE

Despite Adam Scott being in close for a birdie putt, the Australian failed to follow Morikawa in at the par 3 seventh and the second match is now tied.

SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY MOVE TWO UP

Scheffler and Henley are looking strong against Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott after Henley's birdie at the par 5 sixth won the hole.

FINAU AND SCHAUFFELE ONE UP AT THE TURN

Finau and Schauffele look a fine pairing and made two birdies apiece on the front nine. They are one up at the turn after Schauffele made par on the ninth to match Jason Day.

Patrick Cantlay looking to strike back in bottom match

Patrick Cantlay has drilled an iron in close at the par 3 fifth with a nine foot birdie putt to come as he and Sam Burns look to get their game back to level against Connors and Matsuyama.

ADAM SCOTT PUTS HIM AND MIN WOO LEE BACK INFRONT

Scott has just birdied the par 4 eighth to put the Internationals one up in the second match.

CANTLAY CONVERTS HIS BIRDIE PUTT TO MAKE HIS MATCH LEVEL

The bottom match is now level after Cantlay converted his birdie putt at the par 3 fifth.

DRAMA BETWEEN 'FRIENDS' KIM AND SCHEFFLER AT THE SEVENTH

Tom Kim made a birdie on the par 3 seventh but then pal and fellow Dallas resident Scheffler responded and celebrated after following him for a two. USA duo Scheffler and Henley remain two up in the third match.

PENDRITH TAKES HIS MATCH BACK TO ALL SQUARE

More good putting from Taylor Pendrith on the par 5 sixth where he has made a par against Bradley and Clark to ensure the Internationals trail by just one hole.

TOM KIM GETTING FIRED UP

Kim has just fired himself up and the internationals with a birdie putt from 24 feet on the eighth, leaving Henley and Scheffler to try to respond from about half the distance which they fail to do and this match is back to USA one up. Controversially the Internationals have gone straight to the ninth tee while USA are still putting.

USA TAKE THE LEAD IN THE BOTTOM MATCH

Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay are now leading in the bottom match after Burns made a four with an up and down at the par 5 sixth.

HENLEY AND SCHEFFLER'S GAME IS GETTING VERY TASTY

Henley has just put his approach at the par 4 ninth to eight feet. Henley and Scheffler lead by one hole after successive birdies from Tom Kim but both the Internationals have come up short with their approaches. USA are looking good to go two up with Scheffler also 18 feet away in two.

ANIMATED MATSUYAMA FIST PUMPS AFTER WINNING SEVENTH

Matsuyama has just taken the bottom match back to all square after the Japanese pro drained a 22 foot birdie putt on the par 3 seventh which USA were unable to match and we are all square in the bottom match.

KIM AND IM ESCAPE THE NINTH WITH A PAR

Kim and Im remain just one down against Scheffler and Henley who both failed to birdie the par 4 ninth despite having good birdie looks.

MIN WOO LEE MAKES PAR AT THE TENTH

Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott are the only International pair to be leading in the second match and they have just made pars on the ninth and tenth to preserve their slender one-up advantage.

BRILLIANT SHOT BY BRADLEY INTO THE NINTH

Keegan Bradley, who is one up with Clark against Bezuidenhout and Penrith, has just put his approach in right on top of the flag at the par four ninth. He and Clark are both closer than their opponents.

CANTLAY'S BIRDIE ON THE EIGHT PUTS USA IN BOTTOM MATCH

The bottom match is a real see-saw affair and Cantlay has just made a birdie on the eighth to put USA back infront.

Bezuidenhout makes a belated first birdie on the ninth

Clark and Bradley are made to sweat for a half on the ninth as they remain one up after Bezuidenhout's first birdie with a 13-foot putt. Bradley converts to keep USA ahead.

KIM AND SCHEFFLER CONTINUING TO NEEDLE EACH OTHER

Kim and Scheffler are good mates but it really doesn't appear like it today. Kim has just rolled in a decent birdie putt from 20 feet on the 10th for his third birdie in four holes to halve the hole after the world No.1 made a three from 25 feet on the par 4 tenth. USA remain one up.

INTERNATIONALS LEADING IN JUST THE SECOND MATCH

Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott are the only Internationals pairing to be leading after both Min Woo and Morikawa made par on the 11th.

FINAU AND SCHAUFFELE LOOKING STRONG IN OPENING AME

Finau and Schauffele are two up in the top match with five holes left and looking good for victory against Byeong Hun An and Jason Day. They are six under combined and it is going to take something special to beat them. The duo are also in decent shape off the tee on the 14th.

BREAKTHROUGH FOR INTERNATIONALS IN FOURTH MATCH

The internationals are back to level in the fourth match after a birdie on the tenth against Bradley and Clark.

SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY'S MATCH STILL VERY CLOSE

Tensions in the Scheffler and Henley against Kim and Im match seemed to have calmed down after three straight halves. USA remain one up with seven to play but there is no doubt the visitors were annoyed on the eighth green when their opponents walked off to the ninth tee without having the courtesy to watch them putt out.

HENLEY RIPS A FAIRWAY WOOD IN CLOSE AT THE PAR 5 12TH

Russell Henley, playing alongside Scheffler, is impressing today and has come in on half of USA's holes. He has just fired an incredible fairway wood from 271 yards to 20 feet to set-up an eagle putt. USA are one up and could double their lead here but Scheffler and Kim end up halving in pars.

INTERNATIONALS CAPTAIN MIKE WEIR STILL UPBEAT

Weir assessed: "We can flip these anytime. The matches are very close. Our guys have to keep hanging in there. You just give them all a little pep talk and try and be positive."

CLARK WITH A BIG PUTT ON THE 11TH

Clark and Bradley are back to one up in the fourth match after Clark drained a huge putt from 45 feet for a birdie three to win the hole on the par 4 11th.

FANTASTIC CHIP IN FROM FINAU  BUT INTERNATIONALS STRIKE BACK

Finau, playing with Schauffele, holed out in the top game at the 13th for a half from green side rough but he has lost the par 4 15th to a An's birdie for the Internationals who are just one down.

USA REMAIN UP WITH SIX HOLES REMAINING IN THE THIRD MATCH

Scheffler and Henley won the first hole and have led ever since. At the par 3 13th, Scheffler is in closest out of the four players with a tee shot to 17 feet for USA who are one up against Kim and Im.

FURYK PREDICTS TIGHT FINISH OVER TRICKY CLOSING HOLES

Furyk said: "It has been even, guys are going to have to grind it out." Furyk also admitted there is a growing rivalry between Scheffler and Kim as he added: "I know how competitive they both are."

BIG TURNAROUND IN TOP MATCH

It is now all square in the top match where Jason Day's par on 16th was enough to level the match and complete wins on successive holes for the Internationals who were two down and staring defeat in the face. But Day then misses the green and An is unable to get close before Schauffele fires it in close.

AGONY FOR AN AS HE LIPS OUT ON THE 17TH

Great effort from distance on the 17th in the top match which is all square. An's birdie effort from 34 feet lips out though and Schauffele will have a birdie putt to win the hole which the American makes from eight feet.

BRADLEY'S BIRDIE PUTT RESTORES USA'S LEAD

Keegan Bradley just made a decent birdie two on the par 3 13th to put himself and Clark one up with five to play against Bezuidenhout and Pendrith.

BURNS HOLES OUT FOR A BIRDIE IN THE BOTTOM MATCH

Burns and Cantlay are now two-up with five holes left against Connors and Matsuyama in the bottom match after Burns' birdie on the par 3 13th.

HENLEY JUST POURED IN ANOTHER BIRDIE

Henley just made his and Scheffler's seventh birdie of the day in the third match and USA are now three up with three to play against Kim and Im, who is yet to make a single birdie himself.

FANTASTIC APPROACH FROM SCHAUFFELE AT THE 18TH

Schauffele has shown his class in the final two holes to surely clinch a point for USA. The two-time Major winner just birdied the 17th in the top match and has put his approach in to three feet at the 18th to set up a likely birdie and the win.

SCHAUFFELE'S SUCCESSIVE BIRDIES CLINCH OPENING USA Point

After the Internationals levelled the match with two holes left, Schauffele has just finished birdie-birdie to get the USA's first full point.

Taylor Pendrith with a superb approach at the par 4 15th

Taylor Pendrith is doing his best to keep the Internationals in the fourth match which has been a real see-saw. He makes a three but so does Bradley whose USA pairing remain one up.

MORIKAWA AND THEEGALA HEAD UP THE LAST IN THE LEAD

Morikawa has just missed a putt to win the match on the 17th but USA are one up going up the 18th against Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott.

SCHEFFLER CLOSES OUT VICTORY ON THE 16TH

Impressive duo Scheffler and Henley have just closed out a 3&2 victory over Im and Kim in a match which had a bit of needle after the Internationals walked to the ninth green while USA were still putting out on the eighth. Scheffler said: "I think it was a fun match. It is all in good fun, we enjoy competing against each other. We are friends after but not friends during it, I guess."

THEEGALA HITS A SUPERB SHOT INTO last AS EYES HIS FIRST BIRDIE

Morikawa and Theegala are heading up the last one-up and they should be good to claim victory after the latter put his approach from 167 yards to less than three feet against Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott. Theegala just tapped in for his belated first birdie of the day to win the point one up.

USA DEBUTANT THEEGALA REFLECTS ON HIS FIRST WIN WITH MORIKAWA

Theegala said: "I was really nervous and definitely thought about what I was doing a couple of times but it was awesome, I had so much fun out there. It is the best."

NEITHER CLARK OR BRADLEY GET IT CLOSE ON PAR 3 17TH

USA are one up in the penultimate match but Clark and Bradley are 37 and 50-feet away respectively which has allowed Bezuidenhout to take advantage with a tee shot to six feet. This game is close.

FINE SHOT FROM CANTLAY INTO THE 16TH

Cantlay could have a putt at the 16th to win the match after firing in an iron close from 186 yards to 14 feet with USA two up.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout misses birdie putt on 17th to tie match

Great play from Christiaan Bezuidenhout on 17th who put his tee shot at the par 3 to seven foot but he missed the putt and Bradley and Clark go up the last one up.

CANTLAY AND BURNS HEAD TO THE 17TH TEE

Cantlay and Burns are two up with two to play as they head to the 17th tee after Cantlay's birdie putt came up short on 16.

MATSUYAMA WITH A FINE TEE SHOT ON THE PAR 3 17TH

USA duo Cantlay and Burns are two up on the 17th looking to close out victory but Matsuyama is in closest off the tee and should have a putt to take the match up the last.

IN PENULTIMATE MATCH , INTERNATIONALS STRUGGLING

Bradley and Clark are in the box seat on the last against Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Taylor Pendrith with the South African in the water needing a drop and Pendrith in the sand. Bradley has played up to 20 feet but Pendrith has played up close to 10 feet with a fine shot and Clark is also in close.

MATSUYAMA MISSES A MUST MAKE ON 17 FOR BIRDIE

Matsuyama hit a fine shot into 17th but missed the birdie and Cantlay and Burns have won 2&1 in the final match.

BRILLIANT PUTT FROM BRADLEY TO COMPLETE CLEAN SWEEP

USA have won the opening session 5-0 after a superb birdie putt from Keegan Bradley on the 18th to win his match with Clark over Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Taylor Pendrith.

HOSTS MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO GET CROWD GOING

"We Will Rock You" by Queen is being belted out on the first tee as the International team in Canada look to lift their fans and get some more support today in the face of a huge challenge.

FANS, WELL IT IS FRIDAY, DEFINITELY GIVING A BIT MORE NEEDLE OUT

There are boos for USA's Patrick Cantlay & Xander Schauffele as they are announced on to the tee and cheers when Schauffele finds the rough. Opponent Sungjae Im, playing with Hideki Matsuyama, finds the fairway to big applause.

CAPTAINS GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS BEFORE DAY 2

Mike Weir said: "What an atmosphere on the first tee, the fans really brought it today." Weir also defended his decision not to use Tom Kim in the foursomes despite the player being -3 on his own ball yesterday in the four balls.

USA counterpart Jim Furyk added: "We have only played for five points out of 30. These guys are on a mission and know they have a lot of work to do. It is a different format and let's get to work."

USA HAVE A TRICKY PAR PUTT COMING BACK ON THE FIRST

Schauffele's putt after Cantlay hit the green has gone six foot past with the Internationals down for a regulation par before Cantlay misses his par effort and USA are one down.

MATCH TWO UNDERWAY

Taylor Pendrith and Sahith Theegala tee off in the second game and both have just missed the fairway before halving in pars.

MORE TROUBLE FOR OPENING USA PAIR ON THE SECOND

Cantlay put Schauffele in the sand off the tee on the second and they are now over the back on the second before scrambling a par with a fine putt by Schauffele but the Internationals are on in regulation and have a six foot birdie putt which Matsuyama walks in as Internationals go two up.

Sungjae Im on the fairway on the third

Sungjae Im finds the fairway again off the third tee with the internationals looking good at two up while Schauffele goes in the right rough.

INTERNATIONALS MISS CHANCE TO GO THREE-UP AFTER THREE

The top match have just halved the par four third in 4s and are off to the fourth with the Internationals two up after a fine start.

ADAM SCOTT MISSES 13 FOOT BIRDIE PUTT

The second match is tied after two holes after Adam Scott missed a birdie attempt.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout'S PUTTER FINALLY COMES GOOD

Christiaan Bezuidenhout had tough day with the putter on the closing stages yesterday as he missed several putts and lost on the last but he has just holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the first partnering Jason Day as they go one up.

MORE TROUBLE FOR SCHAUFFELE AND CANTLAY ON THE FOURTH

Cantlay and Schauffele were arguably USA's strongest pairing on paper in the foursomes but they are two down and Schauffele has just crashed his shot into a tree at the fourth where they face their second bogey in four holes against Im and Matsuyama whose par wins them the hole as they go three up after four which is a huge shock.

GREAT START FOR THE CANADIANS ON THE FIRST HOLE

Corey Connors and Mackenzie Hughes are one up against Clark and Finau after a par on the opening hole. Huge cheers and support for the Canadians.

SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY TOGETHER AGAIN IN FOURTH PAIRING

Scottie Scheffler has just found the fairway after resuming his impressive partnership with Russell Henley in the fifth and final foursomes match. Si Woo Kim and Byeong Hun An have got their work cut out here as Henley drills an approach in close at the first before Scheffler misses the putt.

GREAT UP AND DOWN FROM THE SAND FOR INTERNATIONALS

Im taps in for a sand save par on the fifth after a brilliant bunker shot from Hideki Matsuyama as the Internationals remain three up.

PROBLEMS CONTINUE FOR CANTLAY AND SCHAUFFELE

Cantlay and Schauffele are astonishingly three down after five holes to Matsuyama and Im and it could get worse for USA who missed the fairway on the left on the sixth at the par 5 and have had to lay up while the Internationals are on the green in two and go four up with a birdie. Remarkable.

ADAM SCOTT MAKING UP FOR YEARS OF PRESIDENTS CUP PAIN

Adam Scott has never been on a winning team in the Presidents Cup but has just drained a 40-foot birdie putt on the par 3 fifth to go up two up with Pendrith against Theegala and Morikawa.

OF FIVE MATCHES ON THE COURSE, USA ARE ONLY UP IN ONE

Scheffler and Henley are the only USA pairing winning in the foursomes after a birdie  at the par 4 second to take the lead against Si Woo Kim and Byeong Hun An.

MATSUYAMA HAS JUST WALKED IN ANOTHER BIRDIE PUTT

Matsuyama and Im are on fire in the top match for the Internationals. They are three under through seven holes and Cantlay has just needed a gutsy half just to stay four down.

INTERNATIONALS BUILD BIG LEADS IN FIRST TWO MATCHES

As well as Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im being on course for a big shock win in the first group, Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith are three up in the second game after three successive birdies.

Si Woo Kim AND Byeong Hun An PEG BACK SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY

Kim and An have just pegged back Scheffler and Henley to all square with a birdie at the par four third. That means USA are not winning currently in any of the five games.

REMARKABLE SCORE IN THE TOP MATCH FOR THE INTERNATIONALS

Incredible scoreline in the top match where Schauffele and Cantlay have been slack, especially with their driving, and now Matsuyama and Im are five up after a fourth birdie in eight holes.

ALL CANADIAN TEAM IN THE PENULTIMATE MATCH GO THREE UP

Clark and Finau have made a mess of the par 3 fifth where they made bogey while Connors and Mackenzie Hughes make par to win the hole after a clutch up and down.

MORE INCREDIBLE PLAY FROM MATSUYAMA

Matsuyama has been superb with Im in the top match. They are five up and the Japanese pro has just put his approach at the ninth to 10 feet before Cantlay's approach goes to three feet. Im gets in the hole for three and they are five under for the front nine after a half on this hole.

JASON DAY'S PUTTER DELIVERS A BIG ONE

Day and Christiaan Bezuidenhout have just gone one up on the seventh with a birdie two at the par three where Day dropped a 28 foot putt against Homa and Harman.

WEIR EXPLAINS HOW HE USED YESTERDAY'S DRUBBING AS MOTIVATION

Weir has been discussing his talk to his team last night. The Internationals captain said: "Every great comeback story starts with a deficit and we are in a deficit. There is a long runway left in this tournament. That was kind of the message and the guys were very motivated."

TOP MATCH WILL BE OVER SOON

Matsuyama and Im's drubbing of Cantlay and Schauffele in the top match has continued at the 10th where their sixth birdie has put them six up. Astonishing.

WHAT A SHOT FROM AN IN THE FINAL MATCH

An and Si Woo Kim are giving Scheffler and Henley a tough game in the final pairing. An has just hit an outrageous third at the par 5 sixth from 219 yards to one inch after the Internationals were originally in the trees off the tee. It has left Scheffler needing to make a birdie which he fails to do. The Internationals go one up.

HOMA AND HARMAN YET TO GET GOING IN THIRD MATCH

Max Homa and Brian Harman are level par for the day after nine holes which is not good enough and they are two down to Bezuidenhout and Day.

INTERNATIONALS NOW SEVEN UP IN TOP GAME

This is incredible golf from Matsuyama and Im who are seven up after 11 holes against Schauffele and Cantlay after a sixth successive birdie. Wow. This match will be over soon. They are seven up with seven holes left.

MATSUYAMA AND IM COULD WRAP UP RECORD WIN ON 12th

Im could put USA's first pairing away on the 12th but has found the green side trap where Matsuyama has played another exceptional bunker shot to leave a tap in par and USA now need an eagle to stay alive as Cantlay's effort slides by. USA gets a birdie but Im has a short putt for from three feet four inches for the match which drops for a 7&6 win. It has tied the biggest margin of victory ever in the competition.

In-form Matsuyama and Im react after being -8 for 12 holes

After seven straight birdies to win 7&6, Matsuyama said: "It was a tough challenge for us losing five matches yesterday but Sungjae hit the perfect tee shot to give us momentum." Im added: "Yesterday was not a nice beginning but from the start we were trying to win. The team-work was well done."

SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY THE ONLY USA PAIRING TO NOT BE LOSING

While all the USA players look out of form and out of sorts, Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley are all square after the ninth and will be a tough double act to beat.

ADAM SCOTT AND TAYLOR PENDRITH TRYING TO EXTEND THEIR LEAD

Scott and Pendrith are close after three on the par 5 12th where they lead four up against Morikawa and Theegala. Pendrith makes his putt as they are -5 under through 12 holes and are now five-up after Theegala misses his birdie effort.

SCHEFFLER DOING HIS BEST TO WRESTLE A US WIN IN BOTTOM MATCH

Scheffler and Henley are all square in the bottom match but have a good birdie look on the par four 10th, where Scheffler has put a shot from 165 yards to seven and a half feet.

PENDRITH AND SCOTT HAVE A CHANCE TO WRAP UP WIN ON 13TH

Pendrith and Scott are five up with six holes to play and Pendrith has just put his tee shot at the par 3 13th to 19 feet. Theegala is 22 feet away with partner Morikawa to putt first as his effort slides by on the high side. Scott also fails to make his from a similar line and they head to the 14th at five up with five to play.

CANADIAN DUO CONNERS AND HUGHES ROMPING TO VICTORY

Home favourites Corey Connors and Mackenzie Hughes are six up through 11 holes after a superb 22-foot birdie putt on the 11th against Clark and Finau. This game will also be over soon.

INTERNATIONALS SET FOR SECOND POINT ON THE 14TH

Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith are five up on the 14th and a half here will give the Internationals a point against Theegala and Morikawa. Morikawa now needs to hole from off the green to keep the game alive....which he fails to achieve with a poor chip which comes up short as the Internationals win 5&4. USA are stunned.

Scott reflects on his 22nd point for the Internationals

Scott, who now has 22 points for the International side as their record points scorer, said: "We listened to Mike and the other assistants and took the positives of how close it was. We were playing well and we just had to get on with it. There is a lot of fight in this team and we are not going to go away."

CONNORS AND HUGHES LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT A POINT ON HOME SOIL

Corey Connors has just fired a superb iron shot from 213 yards to five feet at the par 3 13th. He and Hughes have had six birdies in 12 holes which is superb in foursomes. They could close out victory here as they are five up before Hughes slots a close-range birdie for a 6&5 win over Clark and Finau.

CANADIAN DUO CONNORS AND HUGHES REFLECT ON THEIR BIG WIN

Connors said: "The crowd was in it from the get go and it was such a fun day and great to share it with such a great friend."  Hughes added: "This is one the highlights of my life and funnest days on the golf course."

Si Woo Kim fires in a brilliant shot to the par 3 13th

What a tee shot from Si Woo Kim on the 13th with his match tied with Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley. Henley will have a birdie putt from 41 feet compared to Byeong Hun An was three feet away after Kim's 212 yard shot and has now been conceded as the Internationals go one up.

JASON DAY AND Christiaan Bezuidenhout PUSHING FOR VICTORY

Fine shot by Day into the par 4 15th. Day and partner Christiaan Bezuidenhout are two up and are closer than USA duo Homa and Harman who will putt first as both pairs make 4 and the Internationals remain two up with three holes left.

DAY'S TEE SHOT ON THE 16TH ON EDGE OF WATER HAZARD

Day and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are two up with three to play against Homa and Harman. But Day's tee shot on the 16th has gone left into the hazard with the Internationals deciding to take a drop. That has opened the door for Homa , who has 180 yards to the green.

HENLEY PLAYS TERRIFIC SHOT INTO THE 15TH

USA are hoping to turn the tables in the last match where the Internationals lead one up. But Henley has put his approach in close to eight feet while Byeong Hun An is 12 feet away.

INTERNATIONALS TWO UP TWO TO PLAY

Day and Christiaan Bezuidenhout have had a big escape on the 16th after Day drove into the water. But USA duo Homa and Harman failed to capitalise as the hole is halved in bogeys. The Internationals head to the 17th tee two up with two to play.

SCHEFFLER STILL BATTLING AWAY IN THE ANCHOR MATCH

USA just answered a birdie with a birdie of their own from Scheffler and Henley as the Internationals lead by one hole in the final group heading to the 16th.

HUGE ERROR FROM Christiaan Bezuidenhout ON 17TH TEE AS FINDS WATER

Disastrous shot from Christiaan Bezuidenhout who at two up with two to play has just missed the green right into the water at the par 3 17th. What a huge mental error after Max Homa hit a decent shot in. This group will be heading to the 18th.

ANCHOR MATCH REMAINS TIGHT WITH BOTH ON PAR 4 16TH IN REGULATION

This Scheffler and Henley match against Si Woo Kim and Byeong Hun An is on the 16th but it is another half and this is likely to go up the last as it is so tight.

HOMA AND HARMAN ON 18TH TRYING TO SALVAGE A HALF

Homa has 189 yards uphill into the 18th and is in the green side rough with his second shot. The Internationals of Jason Day and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are one up and just need a half up the last to get the point but Bezuidenhout is over the back.

TWO GREAT SHOTS INTO THE 17TH IN THE ANCHOR MATCH

Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim have both hit the 17th green at the par 3 and are 10 and 14 away respectively with their partners to putt as they both end up with par for another half.

DAY COMES UP CLUTCH ON THE 18TH TO SURELY WIN A POINT

After his partner Christiaan Bezuidenhout went over the back on the 18th, Day has chipped back stiff for a four with the Internationals one up and just needing a half. Harman must now hole out for a half but he fails to do.

Henley finds the fairway up the last but Byeong Hun An misses left

The Internationals can complete a clean sweep if they win this final match and they are one up going up the last. But Byeong Hun An has pulled his tee shot left and is in the rough. Scottie Scheffler will be first to play from the fairway with 190 to the hole which he puts to 25 feet.

ADVANTAGE TO SCHEFFLER AND HENLEY UP THE LAST

Scheffler and Henley trail by one hole but may get away with a half on the 18th. Scheffler has put his second on the green, 25 feet away, but Si Woo Kim's approach from the rough has come up short of the green and the Internationals must now chip which comes up short again.

HENLEY HAS A PUTT FOR THE HOLE ON 18TH TO SALVAGE A HALF

Henley has a 25 foot putt to win the 18th and escape with a half point. If he misses, Si Woo Kim still needs to make a 15-foot par putt. Henley putts and his effort curls wide. Now Kim needs to hole to complete a clean sweep for the Internationals which he nails. Wow.

INTERNATIONALS COMPLETE A 5-0 SWEEP

What a putt from Si Woo Kim to deny USA a half point in the final game to complete a 5-0 sweep for the Internationals. That follows their drubbing on the opening and completes the first ever back to back sweeps in golf Cup history.

JIM FURYK REACTS TO HIS SIDE'S 5-0 DEFEAT IN THE FOURSOMES

Furyk, who saw many of his stars thumped in heavy defeats, said: "Their backs were against the wall and they had to come out firing. Usually you see some momentums swings in this and they played a lot of great golf. We have a tough match on our hands. It is our turn to come out firing."

JOY FOR INTERNATIONALS CAPTAIN MIKE WEIR AFTER 5-0 LOSS ON DAY ONE

Weir said: "I believe in the guys, 5-0 was obviously a bonus but we just wanted to get ourselves back in this. The guys were incredible. The crowds were electric, big huge crowds."

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Well, yesterday was interesting, wasn't it? Day 3 is upon us and suddenly this contest has got interesting. 5-0 to 5-5. Did anyone see that coming? I certainly didn't. Having said that, there's no reason why this International side shouldn't be able to win - it's a team packed with talent. The Presidents Cup needs this - and it needed that bit of needle. Live reporting coming up...

WE'RE UNDERWAY

A misty start to the morning - not much roll on the fairways. And the first fourballs match is underway (foursomes this afternoon remember). If you're new to this, fourballs is exactly that - four players all playing their own ball.

DON'T POKE THE BEAR

Have The Internationals poked the bear? Scheffler looking mean out there this morning. Bit of a wide from the World No.1 into the 1st. Both he and Morikawa comprehensively outdriven. Now a putting contest...

A/S IN THE TOP MATCH

Poor putts all round from makable distances. No fireworks, no early statements. The fog really is heavy. Match 2 now getting underway...

GO CANADA

Match number two is Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele versus Canadian pairing Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes. Understandably, there's a lot of support for the home side, and a few boos for the US. Conners hits a snap hook - and Hughes does the same! Both Finau and Schauffele are in good spots.

VISIBILITY ISSUES

There's going to be a delay. Visibility is less than half a mile, so we're taking a pause.

CONDITIONS HAVE WORSENED

We need some warmth. The conditions have got a little worse. It's hard to predict, but the feeling is that it will lift pretty quickly and there shouldn't be too much of a delay.

PLAY SUSPENDED

DON'T PANIC

It looks bad, but there's a feeling that this type of fog can burn off quite quickly. The players are on the range keeping warm. Fog is better than electrical storms.... let's stay positive.

IT'S LIFTING!

If visibility on the 1st tee is anything to go by, conditions do seem to be improving. We can now see a fairway bunker.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK

Here's how the International team completed the clean sweep yesterday to bring this contest back to 5-5. Let's be honest, it was all set up for a bit of an anti climax this weekend - again. But Mike Weir's men have regrouped impressively. When we do eventually get back underway, we could be in for a really entertaining battle. This is a competition that America has dominated over the years. Could we see an upset this weekend?

NO SIGN OF PLAY RESUMING

It's an hour now since the fog came in over the river, and there's no sign of play resuming at this stage.

WEATHER UPDATE

Gary Young, the Chief Referee, has given an update. It's going to take 20 minutes from when the officials given the all clear for the players to start playing again - although that doesn't mean we'll be underway in 20 minutes. In other words, folks, make a cup of tea or walk the dog. Fog isn't really lifting... yet.

THE WAIT GOES ON

Nothing much to report here. We've hit 1hr 20mins delay time. It's not a good sign when you see players doing trick shots on the range. Well, maybe it is - they're still out there. The problem is the fog still looks thick.

HERE'S WHY WE'RE DELAYED

It doesn't look good, does it? We're waiting for another update now.

2PM RESTART

Just as I say that.... we'll be underway again in six minutes.

AWAY WE GO AGAIN

At last, after a delay of about 90 minutes, we're back underway. Conners with a beauty after his duck hook, which seems like a long time ago. He's negotiated tree trouble to fire one to about 12 feet. The advantage now with the Internationals on the 1st.

HUGE PUTT FROM COLLIN

Collin Morikawa drains a long one on the 2nd. Scott almost chips in for the half, but that moment of magic from the American gives them a 1UP advantage. That putt was at least 40 feet, maybe a little more.

chance gone

Finau misses a great chance from about 8 feet to take the 2nd. The match remains all square. After a 90-minute fog delay, things are warming up with a few blows being traded. S.W. Kim puts INT 1UP on the 1st with a terrific up-and-down from the fairway bunker. He walked that putt in, and the crowd liked that.

A FEW HIGHLIGHTS

The best of the action so far...

S.W. KIM PUMPED

KIM PUTS INT 2UP

Tom Kim puts the Internationals 2UP against Bradley and Clark. He holes a beauty of a mid range putt on the 2nd, and the crowd erupts. Kim gives it an uppercut.

CONNERS STRUGGLING

Conners has been struggling with the lefts ever since his duck hook off the 1st tee. The Canadian is fiddling around again down the left side of the 4th fairway. It's early days, but the momentum seems to be with the Internationals. They lead in one match, all square in the other three.

HELLO HIDEKI

A peach of an approach from the former Masters champion - into 10 feet in the bottom match on the 2nd hole.

Don’t think the team strips concept is really working here

Is winning this fourball session more important for USA than the Internationals?

Do USA need a win in fourballs to offset what might happen in the next session, which is their Achilles heel is foursomes, aka alternate shot? Their travails yesterday continued on from those in Rome in the Ryder Cup. Of these 13 foursomes matches the scoreline is 1-12. They have only ever been up in a foursomes match for 10 holes across all those 13 matches.

USA miss chance some red on the board

Collin Morikawa has a birdie putt on 6 to win hole. He pulls it.

USA pull a hole back in Match 3

A Wyndham Clark birdie wins the hole, and he Keegan Bradley are now only I down.

Match 2 yet to see a birdie

All five holes have been halved in par

But that now changes!

Tony Finau makes the first birdie in Match 2 and USA have some red on the board.

Just firing out an idea

Wonder if the organisers considered, as way to catch up some of the time lost to fog at the start of today, of resuming the first session as a shotgun start, or to start today’s second session as a shotgun? Does that work in matchplay, or is a shotgun start only deemed appropriate for a strokeplay competition?

All square now in match 4

Matsuyama misses a short par putt to let the Americans in. That was a gift as you should not lose a hole to par in fourballs.

All four players in first match have missed the fairway on the 9th

That's the kind of golf all hackers like to see from the top pros occasionally.

Opportunity on the par-3 7th for Kim and Kim

Bradley and Clark have both missed the green and are in heavy rough. Si Woo Kim plays darts, then Tom Kim does so, too.

Tom Kim rolls birdie putt in

He putts first for Team Kim and that's four birdies in first seven holes for them.

Scheffler does not seize opportunity on 9

He has a short putt to win the hole, but it lips out. The top match goes through the turn all square. The only front nine holes not tied were the 2nd, which was won by Morikawa ,and the 3rd, taken by Adam Scott.

Dusting off my schoolboy French

Montreal is is the largest city in the province of Quebec. Quebec is the only province in Canada where French is the sole official language. The official Presidents Cup twitter/X post are in both languages, I am enjoying them for the chance to put my rusty schoolboy French to the test. So far I have been understanding most of them. But the two versions are not literal translations. “Ils maintiennent la pression!” I translated as “they maintain the pressure.” Checking to see how I did, I found their English version is “Fueling the fire!

Finau and Schauffele through turn 2 up

It really hasn;t been happening for their Canadian opponents who have been hanghing on for a while now. But now the dam has burst, Er, that's a mixed metaphor, but you know what I mean.

Team Kim Three Up

It appears you have to be called Kim for a putt to drop today. This duo are banging them in from wherever; everyone else around the course on either side seems to be mostly missing them.

How The kims went 3up

Putting the royal in Royal Montreal

There are two ways a golf club gets to call itself royal . The first is that a monarch confers the title on a club. The second is that a club simply puts royal in its name itself. For example, Royal Tara Golf Club in Ireland gave itself this name on the basis that the course is located near where the ancient kings of Ireland used to live, and Royal Spring Golf Course in India takes its name from the springs formerly used by by Mughal emperors.

Royal Montreal GC got there by the first route – in 1884 Queen Victoria conferred the Royal title on Montreal GC.
