Presidents Cup: The 10 biggest Winners and Losers from Day 2 as the International Team flips the script

PGA: Presidents Cup - Day Two Rounds

After the U.S. swept Thursday’s four-ball matches to take a 5-0 lead at the Presidents Cup, it was a completely different story Friday. The International Team swept the foursome session 5-0. It felt all day like the International Team saw the cup as the size of a lake. However, the U.S. saw the cup the size of the golf ball.

That momentum was crucial for the International Team to get back heading into the weekend.

Here are 10 winners and losers from Friday’s second round at the Presidents Cup in Canada.
