The 2026 Presidents Cup is rapidly drawing to a close, with only the remainder of the singles session to come.
The day began with the Internationals needing just five of the remaining 12 points on offer to win the title outright for the first time since 1998.
Team USA made a strong start in the singles session, though, going ahead early in several matchups as Brandt Snedeker's line-up chases the eight points it needs to retain the trophy.
Follow along with all the big moents as a dramatic week at Medinah concludes.

IM STILL 2-UP
The match between Sungae Im and Sam Burns has two holes to play, with Im 2-up, meaning half a point, at least, for the Internationals.
CLASSY FROM SCOTTIE...
A little earlier, Scottie Scheffler conceded a 32-footer to tie the hole after a fan shouted during Echavarria's swing...

NICO STILL IN IT
He seemed all but done, but Nico Echavarria chips in a 50-footer! Scheffler need to hole his far more straightforward birdie putt to win the match. And he misses!
Scheffler is 2-up with two to play.
TIDE TURNING
Nick Taylor ties his match against Russell Henley at the ninth, right before Hideki Matsuyama goes 1-up against Collin Morikawa. From the US apparently taking control a little earlier, it suddenly feels as though the Presidents Cup is going right to the wire.
CANTLAY INCREASES LEAD
Needing two putts to win the hole, Patrick Cantlay is given it after getting close with his first to go 2-up against Adam Scott at the 11th.
CLOSE!
Nico Echavarria, 3-down against Scottie Scheffler, has a long putt at the 15th to claw back the deficit - and it just misses! That guarantees Scheffler half a point.
FIRST POINT OF THE DAY FOR THE INTERNATIONALS
The Internationals are the next to get a point, after Tom Kim, who is heading to Japan for the Asian Games in the coming hours, claims a 3&2 win over Wyndham Clark.
JT DOES IT
Justin Thomas completes a comprehensive 5&3 win for the US against Corey Conners, who was let down by his putting all day.
LEE TIED WITH BRIDGEMAN
Min Woo Lee ties things up against Jacob Bridgeman at the eighth in match 10. Suddenly, the leaderboard doesn't quite look as ugly for the Internationals.
SI WOO TAKES INITIATIVE
Si Woo Kim drains a long won at the ninth in his match against Jackson Koivun, and it proves important as the young American misses his right. That puts the internationals 2-up in that match.
US TURNING UP THE HEAT
Geoff Ogilvy deliberately held some of his biggest names back with his singles selections. Because of that, we had an inkling the US would start strongly. But this is starting to turn the US's way a little more than the Internationals would be comfortable with.
The US has one point, and is up in eight more matches...
FIRST POINT GOES TO TEAM USA
The first point of the day is on the board, and it goes red, with Cameron Young holing a brilliant left-to-right putt to secure a 3&2 win over Ryo Hisatsune.
