The US has never taken a first day lead and lost the tournament in the President's Cup. There's no reason to believe that this year will be any different. The US will get the best of today's matches and only strengthen their lead heading into the weekend. 

Match 7

Match 7 will feature Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson against Ernie Els and Ryo Ishikawa. While Els holds the course record Ishikawa was too late and frankly, just looked out of place yesterday. Not only does he not know the course, he had little time to practice due to his late arrival.

The International pair bogeyed the last two holes to see a win turn into a draw. 



US Captain Fred Couples switched up the pairings for today's match, moving Matt Kuchar to pair with Steve Stricker and subbing in Johnson to play with Woods. 

Woods has been inconsistent for over a year now and it's unlikely the Baddeley and Day pairing is going to have a similar melt down as they did yesterday. Woods could have a turnaround but unless he does. Look for the Internationals to win this one.
