International team captain Mike Weir's selections have faced scrutiny after the Americans hit back hard at the Presidents Cup, grabbing a commanding four-point lead going into the final day's singles matches in Montreal.
Chastened after being swept 5-0 by the Internationals on day two as the hosts levelled the scores at 5-5, the Americans dominated a marathon day 3 made even longer by a 90-minute fog delay at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
They won the morning four-ball matches 3-1 then matched that scoreline in the afternoon foursomes to take an 11-7 lead into Sunday's 12 singles matches, needing to get to 15.5 points to win the Presidents Cup yet again.
