The Americans never led in the match and it wasn't looking good for the team when the Internationals were 2-up at the 11th hole. The Americans then rallied to win the next two holes to square the match. Both teams threatened to go ahead in the closing holes, but neither team could gain the advantage in the dim light of dusk. The halve of the match moved the overnight lead for the Americans to 12 1/2 to 9 1/2 over the Internationals and it left the the Americans needing only five points in Sunday's singles matches to retain the Presidents Cup.

Stricker was on fire in the afternoon and he recorded seven birdies to give the Americans a 6-up lead with six holes to play. The International team countered by winning the next three holes, but their fate was finally sealed when Tiger Woods birdied the 16th hole. The win gives Stricker and Woods a perfect record in this year's President Cup and moved the Americans out to a 12 to 9 margin over the International team.

The American team never trailed in the match, but at the turn they were all-square after building up an early up-2 lead. Jim Furyk put the American team up by a hole to open the back nine and he put the team 2-up with a birdie at the 13th hole. A 6-foot birdie by Adam Scott at the 16th hole cut the American lead to one, but a conceded eagle at the final hole for Furyk gave the final margin of victory. The victory at the time gave the Americans an 11 to 9 margin over the International team.

This was another match the Americans were never in. The Internationals built their lead to 2-up by the fifth hole and by the turn they were 3-up. A rested Ogilvy birdied the 10th hole to move 4-up and they gave a couple of holes up on the way in, but the lead was too big for the Americans to overcome. The American loss moved captain's pick Lucas Glover to a record of 0-3 this week and it brought the International team within a point of the American team at the time.

Weir played well early then Els caught on fire as the International side didn't lose a single hole. The match was the third one to start, but it was the first one over and it pulled the International side within two points of the Americans. Els now has a career 8-3-1 record in Four-Ball at the Presidents Cup and Weir improved his career record to 7-2.

The Americans trailed for most of the match and were 1-down going into the 17th hole. Woods drained a 22-foot birdie-putt at the 17th and then watched as the Weir missed a four-foot putt to halve the hole. Stricker put his tee shot in the fairway at the 18th and then Woods put the approach within 6-feet for an eagle try. Mike Weir put his approach into the green side rough and they couldn't get down in two, which resulted in a concession. The victory took what looked like a few holes before to be a point for the Internationals and put it in the American column to hold a 10 to 7 lead going into the afternoon Four-Ball matches. Woods and Stricker will be paired again in the afternoon matches against Y.E. Yang and Ryo Ishikawa, while Clark will be paired with Vijay Singh and Weir will be partnered with Ernie Els.

The Americans never got a lead in this match as Yang and Ishikawa had them down by two holes at the turn. The lead was expanded to 3-up to open the back nine and the match ended at the 16th hole with a birdie for the Internationals. The victory at the time cut the American lead down to two points with two matches left. The afternoon Four-Ball pairings have Zach Johnson matched with Justin Leonard and Kenny Perry will be one of the two American players to rest. Captain Greg Norman has kept Yang and Ishikawa paired in the afternoon and they will take on Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods.
