ÎLE BIZARD, Que. – What a day.
Corey Conners pumped his fist after rolling in a birdie on the eleventh gap – possible the primary time he has ever pumped his fist with such authority – and Malory Conners, his spouse and eight months pregnant, exclaimed he virtually put her into labour.
“Make that your headline!” she instructed A-Z Eventz.
Unfortunately for Malory, effectively, the headline of the day belongs to her husband and the remainder of the International squad who went an ideal 5-0 within the alternate-shot format. Now the 2024 Presidents Cup is tied at 5. We’re again to the place we began. Absolutely the whole lot was totally different on Friday, and we’ve received ourselves a contest once more.
“I’m just so proud of the guys, so pumped for them,” stated International Team captain Mike Weir.
From the leap, it was utter dominance by the International facet. For the entire (well-deserved) conversations in regards to the depth of the American crew, and their very own step-on-their-neck effort from Thursday, the tide fully turned on Friday. This was the primary time since 2005 that the International facet has received a foursomes session.
Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im had been within the opening match of the day in opposition to the powerhouse duo of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay and so they ended their match making seven straight birdies. Hands had been shook on No. 12.
The 7 & 6 drumming was tied for probably the most lopsided win in Presidents Cup historical past.
Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith adopted that up with a win of 5 & 4, whereas the Canadian duo of Conners and Mackenzie Hughes received 6 & 5.
To Hughes’ credit score, he managed his feelings effectively. He admitted initially of the week it was going to be laborious to be so excessive and pull himself again to earth. But together with his greatest pal alongside, Hughes was capable of do, effectively, precisely what he hoped to do.
“Corey is the absolute dream alternate-shot partner. You always felt like he had your back, and not just as a friend, but just his game is so solid that you always had that guy behind you,” Hughes stated. “Just probably the most unbelievable day. We had an ideal feeling coming into the day, and I felt like all the fellows had been believing.

“Obviously to go 5-0 is a bonus, but we knew what we were capable of and went out and did it.”
International captain Mike Weir has been leaning on knowledge and analytics all through the week, however with the pairing of Conners and Hughes, it appeared extra of a intestine feeling than something. The hunch was right.
“What we thought was on paper showed up,” Weir stated. “There was great ball striking. There was great putting, great short games. I mean, what I thought was going to happen.”
Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Jason Day received their match 1-up over Max Homa and Brian Harman, whereas Si Woo Kim nailed a 15-foot par saver on the 18th gap – coupled with an emphatic double-fist pump celebration – to assist he and Byeong Hun An defeat Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley 1-up.
A clear sweep.
And whereas the gamers had been those who, in fact, hit the pictures and put the scores on the board, each side had been fast to touch upon the crowds. Like the scoreboard, it was a night-and-day distinction with these exterior the ropes as effectively.
An ideal Friday afternoon versus a Thursday morning helps, together with the house crew making birdies from in all places.
“The environment […] today from yesterday, was drastically different,” stated Scheffler. “I thought today the crowd did a great job, got into it, gave the guys some good energy, and they fed off of it.”
“Obviously you feel like there’s this huge rush of adrenaline running through you all day. It’s a bit of a drug. Honestly, it’s an incredible feeling. The crowds really amplified that feeling,” added Hughes from an International perspective.
“Today the fans really brought it. We felt that from the get-go. Corey mentioned that the first tee felt a lot different today than it did yesterday. Just electric all day.”
