Golf: Internationals stun US to lead Presidents Cup 4-1

MELBOURNE: A Presidents Cup rivalry all but buried by decades of American dominance flickered back to life at Royal Melbourne on Thursday , as the unfancied Internationals stormed to a 4-1 lead by routing Tiger Woods' United States in the fourballs matches.

"We're not done, we're not out of it yet," said Woods, who was largely brilliant in a six-birdie round.Dustin Johnson and Gary Woodland had been branded a dream team by American media after the long hitters were named in a pair on tournament eve. He rolled in a monster 68-foot putt for birdie on the par-four 12th to restore a 4-up lead and all but seal the match.

Home hero Adam Scott and South Korea's An Byeong-hun made it 2-1 for the hosts when Scott rolled in a six-foot putt for par on the 17th, clinching a 2&1 win over Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau. Reed was under the microscope after a controversial bunker penalty in the Bahamas last week and was duly heckled by the crowd from the first tee.
