The Internationals moved three points clear of the United States after holding off a US fightback on the third day of the Presidents Cup at Medinah.
The advantage leaves the Internationals in position to secure their first Presidents Cup victory in 28 years when the competition concludes on Sunday.
The United States attempted to reduce the deficit during day three, but the Internationals maintained their lead. The result gives them a significant advantage heading into the final day, while the US must overturn the three-point gap to retain its hopes of victory.
The competition will be decided by Sunday’s action at Medinah, with the Internationals seeking their first title in nearly three decades.
