The International team made a strong comeback in Day 2 of the Presidents Cup, and that team appears to be in a good position to challenge the U.S. team throughout the remainder of the four-day competition.

The Internationals won three of Friday's five matches outright and halved another, while the U.S. team won just once. The U.S. lead has been narrowed to 5.5-4.5. The U.S. held a 4-1 lead after Day 1 in the international competition at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon City, South Korea.

Johnson lost the hole to Day and Scott for a minus-one, but it didn't end there. Despite what the rules official told Mickelson, he should have continued to play and finish the hole. Since he didn't, the U.S. team lost another point on the hole.

Sit up and take notice. Phil’s blunder on Day 2 generates excitement, writes @RexHoggardGC: http://t.co/Xa05ObdHge pic.twitter.com/bA3Ob8RtIQ
