Internationals storm back at Presidents Cup to tie elite golf tournament 5-5 in Montreal

The International team stormed back with a 5-0 second-round shutout at the Presidents Cup to tie the United States 5-5 in the overall score.

Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Australia's Adam Scott kept things rolling with a 6&5 victory over Sahith Theegala and Collin Morikawa.

Although the fourth match of the day, the all-Canadian team of Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., won next with a 6&5 triumph over Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau.

Nearly an hour later, South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Australia's Jason Day emerged as 1-Up winners over Max Homa and Brian Harman.
