GAINESVILLE, Va., Sept. 22 (UPI) -- The United States trails the Internationals, 3½-2½, after Day One of the Presidents Cup at Gainesville, Va.
Thursday's biggest surprise in the foursomes came when two-time U.S. Open winner Retief Goosen and Adam Scott beat world No. 1 Tiger Woods and Fred Couples, 4 & 3. Couples struggled throughout the match, hitting only one fairway over 18 holes.
Elsewhere, Jim Furyk and Fred Funk and the Internationals Vijay Singh and Mark Hensby halved their match, and Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco eased past Nick O'Hern and Tim Clark, 1-up, giving the U.S. a full point.
Justin Leonard and Scott Verplank easily beat Peter Lonard and Stuart Appleby, 4 & 2, Michael Campbell and Angel Cabrera beat the duo of Davis Love III and Kenny Perry, 2 & 1, and Mike Weir and little-known Trevor Immelman trounced Stewart Cink and David Toms, 6 & 5.
