As expected, the ongoing Presidents Cup 2022 is nothing short of an unpredictable roller coaster. As the championship nears its end into what is touted to be a crazy Day 4, both US and the International teams will be looking to get the best out of the final day at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The US team was the favorite going into the competition, with everyone expecting it to win its fifth title on home soil. The home team started strongly, taking a considerable lead of six points over two days.
However, the International team mounted an incredible comeback, trimming the US' overnight lead to four with an overall score of 11-7.
How did the International team make a comeback on Day 3 of the Presidents Cup?
20-year-old Tom Kim was unbeatable in the foursomes with partner K.H. Lee against world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the morning. If this feat wasn't enough, the young golfer took down the strong pair of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele with countryman Si-woo Kim in fourball.
Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama had been struggling in the foursomes. However, they did the unthinkable when they defeated Cameron Young and Collin Morikawa of the US in the foursomes on Saturday. The International team secured two victories out of the four foursome matches.
Sung-jae Im and Sebastian Munoz took down Tony Finau and Kevin Kisner, while Adam Scott and Cam Davis emerged victorious against Billy Horschel and Sam Burns in fourballs. These two wins proved to be major for the International team as they won three out of four fourball matches.

But if the International team's performance till Day 3 is anything to go by, they might just pull off a 'Miracle at Medinah'.
Here are the standings after Day 3:
