Presidents Cup: the American team extends its lead after the second round


Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth have won their two matches so far

Team USA are on course to maintain their dominance in the Presidents Cup as they extended their lead over Team International to 8-2 after day two at Quail Hollow.

Davis Love III’s team got off to a good start in the biennial competition by taking a 4-1 lead after the first round.

In Friday’s four-ball, Team USA won three of five games, with the other two ending in a tie to come within 7.5 points of victory.

The first team to 15.5 points wins.

The United States have won the last eight editions of the Ryder Cup-style event against a team made up of players from the rest of the world outside of Europe.

Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas kicked off the second round beating Adam Scott and Cam Davis 2&1.

Patrick Cantlay/Xander Schauffele and Billy Horschel/Max Homa then won their respective matches to put Team USA in control heading into the third round.
