(Reuters) \u2013     A lack of clutch putting not fight says International captain Trevor Immelman has put his team in the hole they will try to climb out of on Saturday to keep the United States from bringing the Presidents Cup to an early conclusion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Hammered 4-1 in both the opening foursomes (alternate shot) and fourball (best ball) sessions the Internationals trail the rampaging U.S. 8-2 after two days and must quickly find a way to slow the American juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. have dominated the biennial competition with an 11-1-1 record and are in position to register a Presidents Cup first \u2013 clinching the golden trophy on Saturday and making Sunday\u2019s 12 singles matches nothing more than a victory lap for the hosts.<\/p>\n<p>With two sessions scheduled for a marathon Saturday (foursomes and fourballs) the Americans will be targeting the 15 1\/2 total points needed to lift the Cup for a 12th time and extend their unbeaten run on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to keep fighting,\u201d said Immelman. \u201cKeep putting one foot in front of the other. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel like we\u2019ve played some pretty good golf, some solid golf tee-to-green, particularly the last<\/p>\n<p>couple of days, but we have absolutely been out-putted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHat\u2019s off to the Americans with the way they\u2019ve putted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel like that\u2019s been the difference right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack\u2019s up against the wall. Going to have to dig deep, but it\u2019s going to have to start with making some putts for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A pivotal Saturday will start with foursomes and Immelman sending four of the same pairs that were humbled in a disappointing opening round.<\/p>\n<p>Despite seeing his two most experienced players Adam Scott and Hideki Matusyama brushed aside 6&#038;5 in the opening foursomes  Immelman showed faith in the two struggling veterans reuniting them take on Collin Morikawa and Cameron Young.<\/p>\n<p>Australian Cam Davis and South Korean Kim Si-woo, who have earned the Internationals only full point with a victory over the American all-star pairing of world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns, will this time take on Tony Finau and Max Homa.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. captain Davis Love III has also kept the faith with Scheffler and Burns, who remain a partnership despite having yet to win a match following up their loss in the foursomes followed by a tie and half-point in the fourball.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler and Burns will when they meet the Korean duo of Tom Kim and K.H. Lee.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, winners of both their matches so far, will look to improve 3-0-0 when they face Canadian Corey Conners and South Korean Im Sung-jae.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrevor\u2019s right, there\u2019s a whole lot of points left,\u201d cautioned Love. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a lot of big leads lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to try to be motivated to play tomorrow and not really talk about the outcome till the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Steve Keating in Charlotte; Editing by Robert Birsel)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/golf-lack-of-putting-not\/attachment\/pga-presidents-cup-day-two-rounds-4\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8N018-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8N018-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Steve Keating CHARLOTTE, N.C.
